Gota Platter

Product Story

A sculptural object turning into functional design

Balancing expressive form with intuitive function, Gota is as much a sculptural object as it is a utilitarian piece. Its compact footprint and refined details make it suitable for a variety of settings — from tabletop to shelf — adapting to purpose without losing identity.

"I approached this piece as a sculptural composition, then shaped it into a functional object — a union between a bowl and a heat-resistant base. The intention was to create something intuitive and versatile, where form and material speak quietly, yet with a clear sense of purpose and presence."

On the design - David Amaral

Honest Materiality

The choice of cork reflects a commitment to natural materials with inherent character. Each Gota piece reveals subtle notches, tonal variation, and tactile warmth — celebrating the unique qualities of the material while ensuring performance and durability in daily use.

Changing Perceptions

With Gota, I wanted to rethink the concept of a platter — not merely as an object of use, but as a piece meant to stay within view. It invites moments of interaction: to place, to serve, to display. And even when not in use, it continues to offer quiet beauty, defined by its form and material.
