Enamelled Tray: Sardines
Enamelled Tray: Sardines
Varek
Like Varek prints and table linen, the enamelled aluminium trays come from acrylic work on their favourite subjects - fish, crustaceans, and all the beauty nature has to offer.
Both practical and beautiful, the hand-made enamelled trays sit naturally on a dining table, in a kitchen, or as a piece in their own right. Their considered finish makes them pieces designed to accompany daily life, while bringing a distinctive artistic note to your home.

About Varek Illustrations
Varek is their spelling of varech - the French word for the kelp that lines the Atlantic coast. Côme and Roméo grew up on Île de Ré, where the tides taught them where to step and where not to. They were children there before they were fishermen, and fishermen before they were painters.
From a studio in Bordeaux, the brothers have set themselves a single, unhurried task: to paint every fish and every shellfish they encounter - on the line, underwater, on their travels. Each work is acrylic on canvas, hand-painted, one species at a time. Dicentrarchus labrax. Thunnus thynnus. Palaemon serratus. The scientific name is set down beside the painted body, the way a fisherman might lay his catch beside its label.
The originals are reproduced as posters on eco-responsible art paper, and translated onto linens, aprons, trays, and tin gift boxes - printed and made in France wherever possible, otherwise within Europe. Varek is an entreprise adaptée: every order is fulfilled by fishermen who can no longer work the boats. The catalogue grows at the rate of the catch.
