The Tray Family is a stylish collection of side tables that has a serene Asian quality about them. Low and circular, a person could pair them with cushions to host an exotic and exciting dinner party. Or the Tray Family can simply be used as originally intended, an added surface in living, not dining, spaces.
Created by Johannes Fuchs, a furniture designer based in Frankfurt, Germany, the Tray Family is unusual in that it features softly sunken surfaces that add a beautiful layer to the look. A perfect place to display objects, its "design is based on the industrial technology of three axis CNC milling, which provides the possibility to realise complex geometries in solid wood with most different contours and geometries," according to Fuchs.
