The Tabletop Material Guide

From kitchen vases to woven trays to our glassware collection, we wanted to break down the uses, features, and benefits of the materials behind our favorite accents.

Glass

The classic you know, but with a twist. Each piece in our glassware collection is sustainably crafted by hand, formed with rounded, sculptural edges for an heirloom finish. In fact, our Oaxaca glassware collection is even made from recycled glass from local villages. Easy to clean and care for in any space, glassware can serve up an afternoon lemonade, help you check your reflection in a mirror, and make a statement doing it.

Wood

From beautiful heirloom furniture to small accents, every piece of wood in our collection is sustainably sourced and thoughtfully-crafted by artisans around the globe. Made to last for generations, each piece features beautiful graining that makes it like no other. Easy to maintain with a wipe of a microfiber cloth, wood is an incredible way to warm up your space with an organic touch.

THE TIKAL COLLECTION

Ceramic

Organic forms. Natural beauty. Crafted from rich, locally-sourced clay, our ceramics collection blends modern style with traditional techniques, delivering styles with something for everyone. From traditional serving trays to beautiful kitchen vases, ceramics offer durability, style, and an ageless finish.

Marble & Sandstone

A natural charmer in any room, marble and rainbow sandstone offer stunning beauty that’s always one of a kind. Carved from locally-sourced stone, each piece can take several days to make, from the first cut to the final polish. Due to its ability to retain moisture, we recommend a bit more care with natural stone, using some pieces as decorative accents only.

Marble & Sandstone

Bronze & Brass

Some accents just keep getting better. Over time, bronze and brass change color with regular use and develop a patina, growing more beautiful with age. Masterfully cut and crafted, each accent is made to last for years to come. Easy to care for, brass and bronze accents can be washed and polished with a soft cloth.

The Dasar Collection

Woven Palm

Love the look of a rattan tray? These woven trays and bowls are handcrafted from locally-sourced palm leaves, taking even skilled artisans up to five days to complete. Mixing organic textures with a laidback sensibility, these accents are perfect for kitchen counters, coffee tables, or anywhere you might need a quick catch-all. Best kept away from water and direct sunlight, each woven tray or bowl adds a breath of fresh air to your space.
