Discover a Centrepiece in Papier Mâché
This papier mâché centrepiece is a shallow, wide dish meant to be seen from above, which is the opposite of how most decorative objects are designed. Laid on a dining table, a coffee table or a hallway console, it gives a surface a defined middle without adding height, so conversation across a table is never interrupted. The 29 cm diameter is generous enough to hold fruit, keys or folded napkins, and the low profile keeps it from reading as clutter on a busy surface.
Made from papier mâché, each piece is unique with its own tones because of the nature of the material. Paper takes finish unevenly, so the beige shifts subtly across the dish and no two examples are identical. That is what separates a handmade decorative plate from a moulded ceramic one: the small irregularities are legible at close range and give the object its warmth on an otherwise bare table.
