Teatime Tray

The Teatime Tray has been created by Philippe Starck for the brand Kartell. Philippe Starck’s design elevates the simple act of serving beverages to an art form, blending the elegance of yesteryear’s embroidery with contemporary materials.

The Teatime Tray, with its edges gracefully curving upwards, ensures that everything from teacups to snack plates stays securely in place. The tray’s surface, not just functional but also aesthetically pleasing, comes in a variety of colours, adding a touch of vibrancy to any setting. For the first time, Kartell introduces the use of recycled PMMA, turning plastic waste into a durable, eco-friendly material through an innovative depolymerization process.

This tray, beyond being a stylish serving option, is versatile enough for both indoor and outdoor use, withstanding temperatures between 0 and 50 °C. Despite its resilience, it is not designed for microwave or dishwasher use; a gentle wash with water is recommended to maintain its intricate design and material integrity. Launched in 2023 and boasting a weight of 1.3kg, the Teatime Tray’s dimensions, 43.5cm in length, 33cm in width, and 4.1cm in height, make it an indispensable accessory, though it's best used with dishes for food serving, adhering to its design focus on elegance and functionality.
