The interior of this aluminium tray by Max Seidenfaden for SDS is a miniature architectural landscape: rectangular blocks of varying heights arranged in a shifting, non-repeating pattern that creates new shadows and depth from every angle. As striking as a sculpture as it is functional as a tray.

The relief surface is the defining feature of this piece — an abstract grid of interlocking rectangular forms that invites the eye to move across its surface, finding new compositions as the light shifts. The contrast between the polished exterior frame and the raw, textured interior blocks is characteristic of the Brutalist design vocabulary of 1970s Scandinavia: honest materials, deliberate geometry, and a belief that functional objects should carry the weight of art.
