A supporting role to showcase accessories beautifully
This is a desktop tray from the Prima Rio series by product designer Michio Akita. This product is machined from a stainless steel ingot (lump). The specific gravity of stainless steel is about eight times that of water. This makes the product called "tray" ridiculously heavy. The tray itself has a considerable presence, but it also plays a supporting role in making watches and accessories placed on it look more beautiful.
