Carved by hand from locally sourced olive wood, this soap dish brings together thoughtful design and natural material in a way that feels both simple and considered.
Its oval form is gently shaped, with a narrow base that rises into softly curved edges and a wider top, allowing the soap to sit comfortably while remaining well ventilated. Three small drainage holes are carefully placed to allow excess water to pass through, helping to keep your soap dry between uses and extending its life.
The surface is lightly oiled, enhancing the depth and warmth of the wood while allowing it to be used straight away. Over time, the grain continues to reveal itself, with subtle shifts in tone and pattern that make each piece quietly distinct.
A practical object, shaped with care, that brings a sense of calm and material honesty into daily rituals.
