Vida Tortoise Acrylic Guest Towel Holder by Beatriz Ball

Amber and chocolate-colored tortoise pattern gives this acrylic guest towel holder warmth without a busy ornamental shape. Its clean rectangular sides contain a stack of folded guest towels on a washstand or powder-room surface. The nine-by-six-inch footprint also makes it useful for gathering small dry essentials where a little order is welcome.

“I always think about the next guest when arranging a powder room. A fresh towel with its folded edge clearly visible is more welcoming than a beautiful stack that seems too carefully placed to disturb.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Cuban-born designer Beatriz Ball began working with metal artisans outside Mexico City in 1991. Her signature metalware is still made one piece at a time in the brand’s own foundry in Mexico: sand casting gives the forms their character, and successive hand-polishing stages bring out the alloy’s silvery luster. More than twelve pairs of hands take part in the making. The appeal is that combination of expressive shape and useful purpose, with the warmth of handwork and none of silver’s routine tarnish polishing.
