Transparent tray 46x32 Dune - Kartell

Hypnotic and robust, this Dune tray was designed by Marco Bellini in 2010 for the Italian house Kartell. More than just an everyday object, the Dune tray in its transparent version is a genuine work of art in which our eyes cannot help but lose themselves…

This designer tray is made from PMMA (transparent or solid-dyed), a plastic material that is easy to work with and will stand the test of time. This material, which makes the piece extremely light, is here sculpted from within: restless waves, cascades of flames and torrents of rain seem to move across this tray, perfectly smooth on one side and slightly rough on the other. This three-dimensional illusion is enhanced by the translucent colour and the random luminous intensity of this tray with its unique, contemporary style. With its almost magical finish, the Dune tray is a decorative and functional object on which tableware seems to float elegantly. Leaving no one indifferent, this tray with its countless reflections can be used in the classic way to carry glasses and cups, but can also be displayed on a wooden coffee table or in a designer dining room unit.

Also offered in a “Smoke” variation and in larger dimensions (55x38cm), this rectangular tray is likewise available at The Cool Republic in a chrome version with a shiny, metallic surface.

Specialising in high-end plastic products, the Italian house Kartell was founded in 1949 by the chemical engineer Giulio Castelli. Today, alongside great designers (Starck, Tokujin Yoshioka, Marco Zanuso and more), Kartell continues to explore the potential of plastic ever further, a material to which the brand has managed to give a designer and highly precious quality.
