The Dock Tray provides a handy place to store and charge one's tablet, as well as other knick knacks that might be lying around the office, bedroom and any other space a person may like to rest their device. A simple wooden platter, the Dock Tray boasts a lip that props up the tablet in either portrait or landscape positions. The tray is deep enough to hold notepads, cords and other small objects.
Designed by Belgium-based Alain Berteau, the Dock Tray is beautifully minimalist, which matches the look of the iPad in particular perfectly. Interestingly, the tablet can become a sort of lid when laid flat over the tray. The Dock Tray was recently presented at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City this year.
