Meet the bloom that throws its own garden party. A jubilant hydrangea in shades of pink, inspired from a vintage botanical and magnified under curved glass, turns sunlight into confetti; set it down and the room perks up, an ordinary catchall feels like a keepsake.
Each piece is handcrafted in our New York studio in the French tradition of découpage, reverse painted, felt backed, food safe, and signed by Ben. Put it to work on the bar cart for citrus and sparkle, by the sink for rings and sea salt, or stand it on an easel like the petite artwork it is. A folded card tells the time honored process, so the story arrives with the tray and the party starts on time.

The French call it découpage, pronounced day-coo-pahzh. It flourished in the salons of 18th-century France, where paper, patience, and a steady hand turned everyday objects into works of art.
Ben honors the French technique, in reverse. The artwork goes on the underside of the glass, by hand, so you look through the glass to see it. Nothing sits on the surface. The image seems to float, lit from within, the way a pressed flower looks when you hold it up to a window.
Every design starts with something Ben discovered or created. A pattern he drew. A botanical plate or a scrap of antique paper carried home from a market in Europe, chosen because it meant something.
Decoupage is a science of perfection. Each piece is made slowly in our New York studios by a talented team of artists, patient and exacting, who will not settle for less than a perfect result. Each one is backed in felt, so it can rest safely on a cocktail table, and signed by the artist, Ben Busko.
Each tray is decoupaged by hand beneath the glass. A little care keeps the artwork beautiful.
Suitable for hanging with a plate hanger or standing on a gallery easel.
