Tray Sets

The trays are meticulously crafted using a combination of individual ceramic

tiles inset into an envelope of stained black ash wood. The sculptural design is inspired by the center’s iconic minimalist architecture and its intimate cacti landscaped courtyards,

juxtaposing art with nature.

The ceramic tile pieces are a mix of glazed, unglazed, textured, and smooth finishes, which laid together, form the building-inspired illustration. Carefully hand built, hand glazed and later fired in a two phase process, each individual piece showcases the skilled craftsmanship involved in its creation. Enveloping the ceramic pieces together, is a sculpted solid wood frame, which adds warmth and elegance to the design.

The trays would be an exclusive addition to the Art Jameel Shop, offering the Center’s visitors who appreciate its architecture and curation an opportunity to bring home a piece that not only embodies the spirit of the Art Jameel Center but also showcases the skill and craftsmanship of local artisans who created these trays. In addition to being practical serving pieces, the trays are also elegant conversation pieces, embodying the artistic nature of the Center and its mission.
