ULII Plate by ÜLII Design Studio

The ULII Plate was inspired by stackable plates and existing vase designs. In line with Japanese Zen garden philosophies, the need for a container to hold knick knacks and keys exists. Each ULII Plate has unique characteristics in the wood grain, the finish, and the ultimate utility. Combined with a small zen garden concept: sand, wood, and/or decorative flowers, the plate makes for a powerfully relaxing statement and addition to a home.

The Backstory:

The ULII Plate is manufactured in one of the oldest wood workshops in Bangkok. The carefully designed wooden pieces are carefully produced by hand with
sophisticated 20th century techniques not meant for mass production, so every piece will have its own specific wood tone, pattern from unique wood grain specific to a particular Siam Neem Tree, and color, making every piece unique and limited. Considering the quality of wood and workmanship, only three to four pieces can be produced in a day, with some potential for growth.
