Festivals are as much about beauty as they are about tradition. This year, TheGlitz received the Faaya Borneo Botanicals Citrine 3-Tier Stand, and let’s just say… it lit up our tablescape with elegance and artistry. TheGlitz reviews…
First Impression: Faaya Borneo Botanicals Citrine 3-Tier Stand
The first impression is always the most lasting, and Faaya ensures the unboxing is nothing short of delightful. Nestled carefully, the stand reveals itself like a jewel box being opened… a luminous citrine palette shining through, instantly evoking a festive aura. The hand-illustrated tropical florals are exquisite, delicate strokes of nature-inspired art that bring an almost painterly quality to serveware. TheGlitz truly felt it was not any other platter; it’s a conversation starter.
Faaya Borneo Botanicals Citrine 3-Tier Stand: Design & Aesthetic Appeal
The Faaya Borneo Botanicals Citrine Stand marries craftsmanship with function. At first glance, it radiates a sense of tropical vibrance, but the citrine tones also make it versatile enough to blend with traditional festive décor or even a contemporary minimalist setting. The hand illustrations are meticulously detailed, offering a sense of storytelling on each tray… like a little tropical garden adorning your sweets. It is festive without being loud, striking a balance that feels elevated and refined.
The 3-tier structure is both practical and artistic. Each level offers just enough space to display mithai, artisanal treats, or even gourmet appetisers. We tested it with traditional Diwali laddoos, delicate macarons, and even savoury tikkas… the stand held everything beautifully without looking overcrowded. The detachable trays add functionality, allowing you to use them separately if needed. This versatility makes it more than just seasonal serveware, it’s a piece that can serve you well for high-teas, brunches, or even intimate celebrations beyond Diwali.
Functionality & Practicality
One of the things that often worry us with tiered stands is sturdiness. Fortunately, Faaya doesn’t just deliver on looks, it delivers on structure. The stand feels robust yet not bulky, with an easy-to-assemble and disassemble design. The detachable trays make it travel-friendly as well; we could easily imagine carrying this to a friend’s festive gathering as a stylish hostess gift, already loaded with sweets.
Cleaning, often overlooked in luxury serveware, is refreshingly easy here. The trays can be wiped clean, and the material quality reassures us that the illustrations won’t fade with regular use. This blend of thoughtful design and functionality makes the piece practical, not just ornamental.
Festive Experience
The true test of festive serveware lies in how it elevates the hosting experience. When we placed the stand at the center of the table, it instantly became the highlight. Guests admired its detailing before even reaching for the sweets, and several conversations revolved around “Where is this from?” That is precisely the mark of great design, it doesn’t just serve, it engages.
There is also an emotional quality to the piece. The luminous citrine feels like an extension of festivities itself, warm, glowing, and joyous. The tropical florals remind us of abundance and beauty, while the tiered arrangement suggests generosity… plenty to share, plenty to savour. It captures the spirit of festivities in design form.
Gift-Worthy Elegance
With festive gifting becoming increasingly design-driven, Faaya’s stand positions itself as a perfect contender. It ticks all the boxes of being thoughtful, functional, and beautiful. Unlike conventional gifts, which often fade into memory, this one stays, a piece that the receiver will use and remember year after year. It feels indulgent yet practical, the kind of gift you’d love to receive and proudly display.
TheGlitz Verdict
We loved the Faaya Borneo Botanicals Citrine 3-Tier Stand. It looked gorgeous and was more than a mere serveware, it’s festive art on your table. At once radiant, functional, and elegant, it makes celebrations feel more luxurious and memorable. Whether used to display mithai, artisanal treats, or gourmet appetisers, it elevates the act of sharing food into an experience of beauty.
In a season that celebrates light and abundance, Faaya delivers both with this creation. TheGlitz gives it a glowing 9.5/10, the perfect blend of design-forward thinking and festive warmth.
