What it does
A tray is the working surface of a counter. It comes out of the case, goes on the counter in front of the customer, and holds the pieces still while they are looked at.
Saffiano leather on a display tray, specifically
A saffiano tray survives daily handling without showing marks, which is the reason to choose it over hide. On a busy high-end counter it is the practical version of a leather tray.
Getting the proportion right
Slot layout is the whole decision — how many, what for, and how they are grouped. A ring tray with a row of slots serves a different sale from a mixed tray with one of each.
How saffiano is applied to a display form
The cross-hatch is embossed into the surface, so it has to be aligned across adjoining faces or the join is obvious. On a curved form the pattern distorts, which is why saffiano suits flat and faceted shapes better than busts and cones.
Where it is used
Counter selling, safe storage and trade-fair stands.
Saffiano under case lighting
The texture breaks up reflections, so a saffiano display never shows the hot highlight that plain leatherette does under a spot. It also hides fingerprints, which matters on anything a customer or an assistant touches.
The mistake to avoid
A tray that holds too many pieces stops being a presentation and becomes storage. Trays that come out of the case should hold what you intend to show.
Why saffiano leather
Saffiano is leather pressed with a fine cross-hatch and sealed. The texture catches light along an edge and the coating shrugs off the handling that plain hide would show.
Wipe clean. It is the leather finish to choose for display that is moved, restocked or handled every day.
