It is made from Estremoz's Portuguese marble or [solid ash wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ash-blackwood-ashtray) for a premium look and feel. The trays have an elegant design language as the sleek surface can be used to serve food or elevate objects on a platform over the countertops. The veining aesthetic and color palette ensures that every single tray is one of a kind. The foundation of the tray has a short edge with two semi-circles that are carved onto the sides to function as handles and also allude to the 'Eclipse' name of the design as well.
