Reminiscent of ornately detailed oriental tea services, Habibi as a tray or side table is a precious piece offering elegant possibilities for combination.
The tray Habibi in combination with the base CM06 made from solid material can be used as an independent side table with generous diameters and optional heights available in polished brass, copper and stainless steel. Each piece is entirely unique, handmade and truly valuable offering versatile use as the tray can be removed from the base and used as such on its own. Untreated by chemicals, natural oxidation processes create a beautiful patina over time, unless interrupted by applying conventional metal polishes. The surfaces are not lacquered. The endearing tray and side table Habibi is additionally available in powder-coated aluminium in the colours signal white, umbra grey and jet black. The tray Habibi is delivered as one piece whereas the side table with the CM06 base is delivered in two pieces.
