Jacaranda plateau by Jean Gillon for WoodArt

Model 109 tray in jacaranda signed by Brazilian designer Jean Gillon, dating from the 1960s. A beautiful expression of Mid-Century Brazilian design, where Jean Gillon favours organic shapes, fluid lines, and the natural beauty of wood. The tray, with its sculptural lines, features a large surface with slightly curved contours extended by an elegantly designed handle. It can be used as a small serving tray, a catch-all, a decorative tray, a table catch-all, or a decorative object. Jean Gillon (1919-2007) is a major figure in 20th-century Brazilian design. His creations in precious woods, particularly jacaranda, are now sought after by enthusiasts of Brazilian design, Mid-Century Modern furniture, and collectible items. A wonderful opportunity to acquire an original creation by Jean Gillon in jacaranda, both decorative and functional. Vintage condition, with some signs of wear consistent with the age of the tray.
