The Teatime Tray from Kartell combines Philippe Starck's fascination with traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge materials. Delicate embroidered patterns are etched into recycled PMMA, creating the appearance of crocheted doilies frozen in high-tech polymer. The tray works beautifully for outdoor gatherings since the material won't crack or fade in sunlight. Hand-washing is recommended to preserve the intricate surface detailing that gives each tray its textile-like appearance. Whether you're serving afternoon tea or evening cocktails, this piece bridges generations of hospitality traditions while embracing tomorrow's sustainable design principles.
