Description
This is for the dinner party, the snacks in the garden, or the candles that need somewhere to sit.
Itza Wood makes this round platter by hand from jobillo, a sustainably sourced tropical wood from Guatemala's Petén jungle, and finishes it with food-safe beeswax. It's shallow with smooth edges, so it works as a charger under a plate, a serving tray for cheese and fruit, or a centerpiece for flowers.
One platter, many jobs.

Itza Wood
Each piece is a unique expression of Guatemalan beauty and biodiversity.
Itza Wood was founded by Eliza Babarczy in the Petén, the largest remaining tropical forest in Central America. The lumber comes from community-run, FSC-certified yards inside the Maya Biosphere, and the team planted 45,000 trees before cutting any.
