La Mére Black Ash Tray, Large

The La Mére tray in its most generous proportion, embodies an expanded canvas for organizational intent. Its signature curved edge creates a graceful arc that guides both eye and hand, while the carbonized ash treatment reveals the quiet drama of wood grain beneath, rendered in deep charcoal tones that speak to its material transformation. This larger format excels as a comprehensive solution for the modern desk's array of necessities—from laptops and tablets to notebooks, writing implements, and daily essentials—providing a defined territory that prevents the gathering tide of creative implements while preserving spatial clarity. Beyond the workspace, it adapts seamlessly across environments: anchoring an entry console's daily essentials, containing reading materials with studied intent, or elevating entertaining with a composed arrangement of refreshments and service elements.

Part of a considered collection that spans three dimensions [view all sizes here], this large variant maintains the design's essential character while commanding a more substantial footprint. Its scaled presence invites more ambitious organizational arrangements, transforming the scattered implements of productivity into a curated landscape of purpose.
