a small catch-all for rings, keys, and loose change, or for a candle, incense, or anything else that needs a landing spot on a dresser or nightstand. the swirl pattern is taken from historic marbled papers, the kind you’d find lining the inside covers of old leather-bound books.

about marbling
paper marbling is an old technique, and every sheet is one of a kind. ink or paint is floated on a bath of thickened water, then swirled, combed, or dropped into patterns. a sheet of paper is laid on the surface to lift the design off in a single pull. japanese suminagashi goes back to at least the 12th century, and turkish ebru flourished from the 1500s on. by the 1600s to 1800s, marbled papers were a mainstay of european bookbinding, used for endpapers and covers. no two pulls ever come out the same, which is why antique marbled papers are collected on their own.

each piece is individually made using vintage textiles, resulting in unique color variation, patchwork composition, and subtle signs of age that speak to the history of the material. No two are alike.
