Platform Tray

Fusing the beauty and function intrinsic to Scandinavian design with the methodologies of Japanese artisanry is Platform Tray by Hecht & Colin, a stackable tray with a multitude of uses. Platform Tray evolves the resourcefulness of Scandinavian design, where objects are not only beautifully practical but also add a new dimension to the atmosphere of a space. Functioning as a practical tray to carry items from one room to another, Platform Tray also serves as a raised stationary platform for displaying your essential objects. Whether holding vases and candlesticks on a windowsill, subtly placed on a desk as a holder for keys, phones and coins, or used to carry objects from the kitchen counter to the dining table, Platform Tray serves a variety of needs. The collision of functions is mirrored in the design’s use of materials: Moulded plastic is juxtaposed with a removable oak veneer disc, allowing for the tray to seamlessly blend into any space or interior. The stocky legs of the tray’s underside replace the traditional tray lip, makes lifting easy and elevates the tray while ensuring that it nestles snugly into additional Platform Trays for a stacked composition.

SAM HECHT & KIM COLIN ON THE DESIGN
“We wanted to design an object that gave more from less; a product with duality that incorporates the idea of Scandinavian design by involving functionality on different levels. The Platform Tray acts as a small platform, akin to a table on legs yet it can also be picked up and used as a tray or stacked with additional Platform Trays.”
