Material’s significance
The material chosen were solid wood because of the colour of the grain represented nature that has a connection between trees and forests. Solid wood can repair and prevent scratches, dings, dents, watermarks and stains. The grain characteristics were fine, vertical and straight grains. Solid woods also dries quickly, easily and also dries with minimal degrade. As for the machining characteristics, it provide better cuts, edges, surfaces, sands, steam bending or even finger joint effectively.
Functionality
It functioned as a portable and convenient tray for user to carry around with fruits on it. The tray had four perpendicular corners being mitred and wedge to provide stability and durability so as to balance the fruit. The depth of the tray being contained with fruits are longer than the base to the bottom is because more fruits can be added and also to provide a good sense of gravity to the whole tray. Vanish oil is applied onto the surface, to protect or even keep away from water droplet as the result will be waterproof as well as insect and unnecessary objects.
Originality
The wooden tray has a curvature design on the base, which can be detachable to give the user a sense of customizations. The rationale for the curvature design is to simulate the shape of the streamline fruits such as apples, pears and orange etc. The curvature pattern on the base is an extraction of wood grains being transform and manipulate in an abstract pattern. The outer and inner edges of the tray are also rounded to give a relationship of curvity and flexibility. Furthermore, to prevent the user from any sharp corner injuries that might cause hurt.
