Rustic One Day, Refined the Next

Who could commit to just one set of dining service ware? Sometimes you feel like an earth mama, while other days you’re more in tune with all things modern. So, why not cater to the duality of your style?

For your earthy inclination, the Acacia and Rattan serving tray is hand-crafted by Kenyan artisans from rapidly-renewable jacaranda wood. With intricate weaving and warm colors, this rustic piece pays homage to the inherent beauty of Mother Nature. (Available at Ten Thousand Villages for $22.)

Your sleek alter ego will enjoy serving your favorite sauvignon blanc with asiago pressato to guests at dinner parties with the Wine and Hors D’Oeuvres trays, equipped with a slot to hold your wine glass while you munch. (Pictured at top; set of four available at VivaTerra for $85.)
