Just in: Ary's "Alabasta" trays and more stunning designs

We've just received out Swedish trays from Ary! Ary have been manufacturing birch wood trays at the original site in Sweden for over 50 years. If you're looking to add some colour and pattern to your kitchen, or any other room in the house, all Ary trays are beautiful enough to be grouped on the wall, but sturdy enough to be propped on the kitchen counter and used every day. And they're food and dishwasher safe.

We have in stock the folksy "Alabasta" line, designed by British textile designer Asta Barrington. Her designs remind us of cozy, Scandanavian knitted sweaters, perfect as the weather cools off. This collection is brand-new and was launched at Tent London in September 2011. Inspired by Northern European fold designs and embroidery stiches from around the world, they present striking patterns and a gorgeous splash of colour.

Also in stock is the "Spoons" collection by British designer Michael Angove. Simply stunning in their simplicity and the use of very detailed, hand-drawn, vintage images digitally printed onto bright, contemporary, colourful backgrounds. His patterns are based on pencil drawings of feathers and household objects like spoons. "I grew up in Wales, and when we moved to different houses, quite old houses, you'd open a drawer and there'd be a random spoon or coat hanger left behind," says Angove. "Those things would become things I played with, and today I present them in drawings. They are very simple, but very familiar objects everyone can relate to."

Ary trays are made from single sheets of sustainably sourced Scandinavian birch, and are available in assorted sizes.
