About the ITALIAN AG TRAY

A rectangular cherry wood tray from IFUJI’s Italian series, designed using geometric principles and inspired by historical Italianate decor. Finished with vegetable dye, its refined, minimal form brings a sense of stillness while elegantly highlighting whatever is placed on it.

Ways to Use

Like the other pieces in the Italian series, this tray lends itself to many moments of everyday life:

• Serve food directly on the tray.
• Use it as an undertray or serving tray.
• Create a display base for treasured objects.
