Conceived as a functional object, it combines practical use with a strong visual identity typical of the period.

The rectangular tray features a glass top protecting a geometric graphic composition in grey, black and white tones, structured around a central striped band. This graphic language reflects the modernist influence that informed much European design of the era.

A metal perimeter frame provides structural clarity, while the side handles in red lacquered wood add a bold color accent and ergonomic grip. The underside retains its original pressed fiberboard back panel. The tray shows light signs of age and gentle undulations in the graphic layer beneath the glass, consistent with vintage production.

An elegant and characterful object suited to contemporary, modernist or eclectic interiors. See less
