Design Story

Designed by Dawn Sweitzer, the Second Nature collection looks to nature for its patterns, forms and unexpected compositions. Stacked rocks, tree bark, the markings of a turtle’s shell and the abstract shadows created by the natural world all inform the collection’s distinctive artwork.

The design is brought to life through silk-screen printed glass, combining layers of pattern and colour with the warmth and texture of an oak veneer rim. The result sits somewhere between functional object and artwork—subtle enough to complement its surroundings while still bringing depth and visual interest to a room.

With its generous oblong proportions, the Second Nature Tray can be used to create a layered arrangement on a coffee table, ottoman or console, or simply displayed as a decorative object in its own right.
