Stadio 2 Platter
Made by Shibui
Designed by Athanasios Babalis
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What wood options are available for the Stadio 2 Platter?
The Stadio 2 Platter is offered in solid ash or solid elm. Both species have distinct grain characters, so the final appearance of each platter varies naturally with the wood selected.
How should a solid wood serving platter be cared for?
Solid wood platters should be hand-washed and dried promptly, never submerged or placed in a dishwasher. Periodic treatment with a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax conditioner helps preserve the wood's surface and prevents drying or cracking over time.
Who is Athanasios Babalis?
Athanasios Babalis is a designer whose work explores the relationship between geometric form and natural materials. His objects tend toward quiet formal precision, allowing the character of the material to complete the design.
What is the Shibui design philosophy?
Shibui takes its name from a Japanese aesthetic concept describing beauty that is restrained, unobtrusive, and revealed gradually. The brand applies this principle to objects for the home, favoring simplicity, natural materials, and craft processes that leave visible evidence of the maker's hand.
Is the Stadio 2 Platter appropriate for serving food directly?
Yes, the platter is designed for practical use and is well suited to serving fruit, bread, cheese, or other small food items. As with any solid wood serving piece, direct contact with very moist foods for extended periods is best avoided.
