Medusa Tray by 101 Copenhagen: An Ode to the Ocean's Enigma
Floating ethereally in the vast expanse of the sea, the jellyfish has always been a source of fascination and wonder. Its soft, undulating forms and delicate tentacles inspire thoughts of grace and mystery. Drawing from this enigmatic marine creature, 101 Copenhagen introduces the Medusa Ceramics collection, with the Medusa Tray standing out as a testament to the blend of nature and artistry.
At the heart of the Medusa Tray's design is a homage to the soft oval forms and intricate details of the jellyfish. What sets it apart is its elevation – a series of small, cone-shaped legs that lift it slightly above any surface. These legs, reminiscent of the drifting tentacles of the Medusa, add a subtle touch of character and depth to the piece.
While its name might invoke images of ancient mythologies and petrifying gazes, the Medusa Tray evokes nothing but serenity and elegance. Its simplicity and grace make it a versatile piece, able to seamlessly fit into various interior design schemes. Whether it serves as a centerpiece for your coffee table or as an artistic addition to a display shelf, the Medusa Tray promises to be a conversation starter.
Crafted with care from ceramic, each tray undergoes meticulous hand glazing to achieve its distinctive texture. This artisanal process ensures that no two trays are exactly alike, with subtle variations in color and texture lending uniqueness to each piece. And while the tray itself isn't completely waterproof, 101 Copenhagen thoughtfully includes a bag for fresh flowers, ensuring that the tray can be transformed into a decorative vase when desired.
Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl, the brilliant minds behind this design, continue their tradition of integrating nature-inspired themes with contemporary design aesthetics. The Medusa Tray, with its understated elegance and sculptural charm, is a shining example of their commitment to design excellence. In embracing the beauty of the Medusa, they have created a piece that captures the imagination and elevates any space it graces.
