Tray

‘Dual’ is a serving tray with two distinct characters. It is crafted from an oak veneered moulded plywood frame in which a double sided laminate board is suspended - one side glossy white and the other matte black. Beyond the obvious colour contrast and the functional requirements for carrying, ‘Dual’ can also be seen as a presentation platform. The frame and slightly elevated horizontal plane gives the tray an almost plinth like quality which helps to subtly formalise whatever is placed upon it.

The tray was later complemented by a set of folding legs enabling it to be used as an occasional side or serving table. Made from bent stainless steel wire with a simple integral hinge the legs can be used in two orientations allowing for different heights and can be folded completely flat for storage.
