Tray Coffee Table is designed by HAY — a coffee table whose name references the tray-like character of its surface: a low, flat form with a shallow raised edge that defines and contains the table's surface plane and gives the design its primary formal character and its name. The Tray's design is built on this simple, direct formal idea — the table surface as a contained, defined, and bounded plane — executed with the material quality and proportional precision characteristic of HAY's in-house design work. The result is a coffee table of formal simplicity, material honesty, and functional clarity suited to a wide range of living room arrangements.

The tray edge creates a subtle visual boundary that organises objects placed on the table surface and gives the design a more considered formal identity than a flat, edgeless coffee table surface. The construction and material of the Tray reflect HAY's commitment to honest design that achieves its effect through specific, well-executed formal ideas rather than through formal complexity or applied decoration. The tray-edge surface also provides a practical object containment quality that makes the table functional as well as formally distinctive, keeping objects in place and giving the surface a defined character that contributes to the visual organisation of the living room arrangement. Available in HAY's material and finish range.

The Tray Coffee Table is well suited to residential living rooms and lounge settings where a coffee table of clean, direct formal character and reliable HAY material quality is required. Its tray-edge surface provides both practical object containment and a formal distinctiveness that gives the design a clear visual identity within the coffee table category, and its clean proportions make it an effective specification across a wide range of contemporary residential interior contexts.

Available as a 2D DWG drawing and 3D model.
