Geta Tray - Coffee

GETA TRAY - COFFEE

Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl

The Geta Tray is inspired by Japanese decoration trays, where the platform is elevated above the table surface, highlighting a specific object or decoration piece. The name is a reference to the classic Japanese Geta shoes with two prongs. It is cast in solid fiber concrete to add a certain heaviness, while also creating a unique and refined texture.

Geta can be used for various decorative purposes or stand alone as a statement piece in itself. As it is a hand glazed natural product, the colours may vary slightly and it is not waterproof safe.
