Description
This is for the coffee table, the breakfast in bed, or the end-of-day drink that deserves a proper landing spot.
Itza Wood makes these leaf-shaped trays by hand in Guatemala's Petén jungle from FSC-certified granadillo. Each one is cut in its own asymmetrical shape, then sanded and finished with food-safe beeswax that brings out the grain.
Mix the sizes and pile them up. They look even better as a group.

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.
