The Art of the Tray

Aug 2026

Sometimes it’s as much about the tray as it is about the cocktail it carries.

Inspired by the soft drape of a linen napkin resting on a classic bistro tray, the Garçon Tray explores the possibilities of resin sculpting to capture the illusion of fabric suspended in motion.

The colorful bussing trays balance functionality with sculptural form. Seven custom-molded indents were carefully sized to fit our glassware collection, creating a secure and seamless way to transport drinks.

Whether circulating cocktails through a crowded room or clearing glasses at the end of the evening, the tray transforms a practical service tool into a design object, bringing intention and elegance to every stage of hospitality.
