Designed and constructed for a client's special bonsai tree, this tray. The slight elevation on the humble tree makes an understated proclamation of it's significance. The design references Japanese proportion systems, intersecting clean angled uprights with a single horizontal grounding plane. The material selection is deliberate, while the actual materials are simple and natural. Mostly wood, with steel spans, leather bounding and a glass base plate. The glass base plate allows the bonsai tree to float above the ground, as they do in their natural environment, on a mountain side feeding on the light from all surrounding angles.
