DESIGN CLASSIC
Designed in 1963 by Danish architect, Hans Bølling, the Tray Table is a classic mid-century piece. Exemplifying the form and function the Danes are renowned for, the trays can be turned around for a colour variation,or removed altogether from the H frame, and the entire piece folded away when not needed. Not that anyone would want to put Tray Table in a corner!
