The Rhythmos Leftover Tray gives new purpose to vegetable-tanned leather off cuts, shaped slowly and deliberately into a seamless, three-dimensional forms. Pressed by hand over wooden molds, each tray retains the natural qualities of the leather — subtle variations that age beautifully through time and use. No two trays are ever the same, their perfect imperfections given them texture and slight variations of colour and thickness.
Ideal for holding small objects or displaying cherished items, this Japanese leather tray is designed to be lived with and become part of everyday rituals.

Rhythmos takes its name comes from the ancient Greek word for “rhythm,” reflecting the natural flow and presence found in every piece of leather. The Leftover collection upcycles stripped layers of leather, even inner skived layers, that are usually discarded in leather goods production. Every piece is handmade with a commitment to simplicity, honesty, and respect for the natural beauty of materials.
