Berneta I Blue Platter

This contemporary platter is primarily designed as a decorative accent. While its aluminum construction is exceptionally durable, we recommend using it for decorative purposes—such as holding flameless candles, decorative beads, or dried botanicals. If you choose to use it for serving pre-packaged treats or dry goods, we suggest using a food-safe liner or cloth to protect the platter's bold blue finish.

Absolutely. While styled as a contemporary piece, the bold blue color and textured alligator pattern make it a perfect fit for a "coastal modern" aesthetic. Its deep blue hue evokes a nautical feel that pairs beautifully with natural textures like jute rugs or light wood furniture commonly found in seaside homes.

To preserve the vibrant blue color and the unique alligator pattern, our experts recommend dusting the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, then dry it immediately to prevent spotting. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive pads, as these can dull the metallic luster of the aluminum.

Aluminum is a premium choice for home decor because it is naturally rust-resistant and lightweight yet sturdy. This makes it an ideal material for homes in humid or coastal climates where other metals might be prone to corrosion. Its durability ensures that the striking "Berneta I" silhouette will remain a centerpiece in your home for years to come.

Yes, this piece is designed with versatility in mind. With a depth of 11 inches, it is perfectly scaled to fit on most standard 12-inch deep bookshelves or slim entryway console tables. Its 3-inch height adds a subtle layer of dimension without obstructing your view or feeling too bulky in smaller urban apartments.

To create a curated, designer-inspired look, we suggest leaning into the platter’s 17-inch width by layering items of varying heights. Place it in the center of your table and group objects in odd numbers—perhaps a tall sculptural vase, a medium-sized candle, and a small air plant. This approach creates visual balance and allows the unique alligator texture to serve as a sophisticated foundation for your decor.
