Overview

The Turning Tray was designed in 1956 by internationally acclaimed architect Finn Juhl. Today the original trays are on display at Finn Juhl’s house museum in Charlottenlund, Denmark, as an example of his aesthetics applied to everyday objects. Architectmade is re-launching the Turning Trays based on the original drawings by Finn Juhl, following his exact specifications, including the choice of materials (teak and laminate), colors (Alaska white, Husky green, Angel blue and Kimono red) and details like the curved frame or the the corner joints without screws or bolts. Each Tray comes with a laser engraved signature at its base. Double sided, the trays can be used on their black or colored side depending on the occasion or the time of the day. Originally designed as a set of three trays of different sizes, each tray also works well by itself, for example on a coffee or side table. They are sold individually and offered in three sizes.

The Turning Trays are part of Architectmade's collection. Architectmade is a Danish brand offering a glimpse into a few, rare design objects that some of Denmark’s leading architects created along their way to fame years ago. Celebrating timeless products that last, at the opposite of the "throw away" culture, Architectmade is renowned for its excellent craftsmanship.
