Alabasta trays now available in Korea

If you happen to be in South Korea there's a really good interiors shop called Nordic Design in Seoul that have just started stocking the Alabasta birch wood trays as well as the rest of the collection of Åry Trays. Even if you're not, it's worth a look at their website just to drool over the broad selection of Scandi design including the clean lines of Hay's furniture and the perfect proportions of Gubi and Secto Design's lighting.

The Independent: The 50 Best Homewares

Imagine my surprise and delight on Saturday while idly leafing through the Independent newspaper and spotting my name and an Alabasta tray within an item about the '50 Best Homewares', edited by Kate Watson Smyth. All the items in the article can be bought online and Alabasta trays are this time being promoted by Coastal Home. It's a seaside inspired collection of coastal home interiors, home accessories and outdoor furniture and sells the Blue Fish trays in three sizes as well as the 11cm mini tray coasters.

It's taken a while but we have finally managed to get hold of a copy of the Australian edition of Vogue Living's first issue of the year. It's really exciting to see the highly influential interiors magazine featuring an image of the red Folk Stripe Alabasta tray twice, once again including the contents page:

Elle Decoration Norway magazine, March/April 2012

The latest piece of international press coverage for the Alabasta range for Åry Trays comes from the Norwegian edition of Elle Decoration magazine. The white version of the 38cm Folk Stripe tray is featured alongside products from Scandinavian companies such as Ferm Living and Verner Panton. They demonstrate the new trend for geometric patterned/shaped home wares in lighter brighter colours and I particularly like the coherence of the products on this page. Seen from a distance or in print the tray looks quite pastel but in reality the colours are actually quite strong and vivid.

Elle Decoration Norway, March/April 2012

The caption reads: 

"Shopping: We are going towards brighter days - celebrate with a combination of delicate pastels and a stronger graphical expression. Find your favourite and enjoy the Spring sun's warming rays!" 

Mange takk, Elle Deco Norge!
