Athanasios Babalis approaches the table as a surface of quiet ceremony. The Stadio 2 Platter is carved from solid ash or elm, its face worked into a rhythm of concentric ovals that recall both geological strata and the worn grooves of an amphitheater. The carving is not decoration applied to a form, it is the form itself. Shibui draws its name from a Japanese aesthetic principle centered on understated, austere beauty, and this platter embodies that sensibility. The natural grain of the wood shifts and deepens within the carved channels, so no two pieces read identically. Useful for fruit, bread, or composed small bites, it holds its presence on the table even when empty.
