The Alvar tray is a beautiful everyday object designed by Alvar Aalto in the 1960s, originally for a community center located in Seinäjoki, Finland. The tray pays homage to the long-lasting collaboration between Aalto and Nikari’s founder, carpenter Kari Virtanen, and is the oldest product in Nikari's collection. The clean-lined tray features a white laminate top and a light birch frame that has been treated with natural oil mixture. Due to the handles on each end, the tray is easy to carry around. The Alvar tray has a simple and functional design that will stand the test of time. The Alvar tray is part of Nikari's Arte collection that features products designed for various special projects. Nikari products are made in Finland using only certified wood.
