The quality of furnishings does not only manifest itself in large objects. It’s the small things - the various accessories, pictures, plants and mementos - that play a major role in our emotional attachment to the home. In recent decades only a few designers like Charles and Ray Eames, Alexander Girard and George Nelson have been aware of this. Starting with the same ideas in the mid-twentieth century they created furnishings and equipment in which small things always had an important place. It is with this thought in mind that the Classic Trays should be viewed.

American husband and wife design duo Charles and Ray Eames have had a profound influence on the visual character of American life, producing original work within the fields of architecture, furniture design, industrial design, manufacturing and the photographic arts.
The Eames’ first partnered with Vitra in 1957 to produce some of the most iconic pieces of furniture in the history of interior design. Today Vitra continues to reflect their philosophy on design and functionality, best understood through Charles’ own words: “Recognising the need is the primary condition for the design”.
