In an atelier in the Mediterranean city of Sfax, he refines rough logs into graceful pieces like this caramel colored, round platter. This single piece of wood elegantly shows the natural grain of the wood. Use to serve all of your favorite savory and sweet snacks. Meet the artisan >

DESIGNER

Third-generation artisan Fakher Baklouti inherited his craft from his father, who learned it from his father. The family business? Wood working, transforming Tunisian olive trees into rich amber bowls and platters that almost seem to glow. “It is our family heritage,” Baklouti says of his profession. “This is not simply a work that I am practicing with my hands. It’s a passion, a love story!”
