About the Item
This lovely and stylish rattan tray was designed and made by Artek in Finland during the 1960s. It is hand woven from cane and rattan, and exemplifies Artek's commitment to blending functionality, craftsmanship, and aesthetics.
Artek, the renowned Finnish design company, founded in 1935 by Alvar and Aino Aalto, made significant contributions to the world of design during the mid-20th century. Artek was quite revolutionary, even in its time, realizing the benefits of some materials early on. Their rattan items, crafted by skilled artisans, are still sought after today and for a good reason: cane and rattan are surging in demand due to their durability and eco-friendly nature. Retailers and manufacturers became ever more creative with the materials in the mid-20th century, crafting exquisite designs in forms and structures that were not possible with the use of wood. The textured, organic lines of this tray reveal the skill of Artek's craftsmen, who transformed humble materials into dazzling, functional artifacts. The true charm of this piece, besides its carefully crafted rattan body, is its simplicity. Finnish designers excelled in turning everyday utilitarian objects into pieces of functional art. In this vein of master craftsmanship, Artek's design philosophy was deeply rooted in the idea that everyday objects should be both practical and visually appealing. This rattan tray epitomizes this ethos. It effortlessly combines form and function, making it not only a serving accessory but also a captivating piece of design that could adorn any interior.
This Artek produced rattan tray remains representative of the era's design sentiments. Its enduring allure continues to captivate design enthusiasts, preserving Artek's legacy as a pioneer of 20th-century design.

Jens Quistgaard Staved Teak Bowl for Dansk Design, Denmark, 1950s
By Dansk, Jens Quistgaard
Located in Utrecht, NL
Jens H. Quistgaard set out to design beautiful things for everyday use, which is an essentially Scandinavian approach to design in general. Over the course of his prolific and varied design career, Jens Quistgaard created objects that are a meditation on the possibilities of shape for a common household object.
Intriguing and fantastical, the variety of forms the sculptor manifested expand the vocabulary of functional design, calling on an array of familiar references including natural shapes. This solid wood bowl is a beautiful example of this, with an organic shape and an immediately visible level of craftsmanship. This rare model is an early iteration of the teak Viking...
