Description
Ever wonder where old street signs go? You guessed it- your dining room!
This innovative "Humanufactured" metal tray by Boris Bally is created out of a recycled speed limit sign. Referred to as a 'pentatray,' this tray features five upturned edges, giving the tray an almost floral design. The tray measures roughly 18".
Boris Bally is a favorite donor among the Art Beat auction, we are very pleased to have him donating again this year! The piece can be used as a tray, or even hung up in your home or apartment. It's the perfect piece to jazz up your space. The piece was made from RI and NY signs (scrap aluminum).
Special Instructions
Unique in style, design and conception. Boris Bally's award-winning work is both witty and innovative employing the use of jeweler's skills on non-precious materials. The Urban Enamel work transforms selected recycled street sign materials into joyful objects for reflection. These pieces celebrate raw American street-aesthetic in the form of useful objects for the home. Pieces are distinctive as signage is collected for its bold imagery and weathered patina.
