Designed by Rui Alves, TRAVE tray is a simple rectangular shape featuring a useful rim on the edges, making serving food and drinks a special occasion. A plane surface and two elements that support and elevate it. The simplicity of this principle and its usual representation of geometric design are at the origin of the TRAVE.

From the consistency of the shapes results unique, visual and tactile details, capturing attention without obfuscating the objects it supports. Available in 3 variants of natural wood, slight variations in colour can occur due to the handcraftsmanship of this one-of-a-kind piece.
