Mid-Century Style Bärbar Tray from Ikea
For all their ubiquitous furniture, Ikea continuously come up with new home accessories which have a stylish quality that belies their Swedish-superstore origins. One such item is this Bärbar Tray.
Square and white, it's adorned with a colourful bird pattern which has a definite mid-century flavour. It's practical yet quirky and best of all it's a bit of a bargain at just £5.29.
The tray measures 33cm x 33cm. You'll need to visit a store to pick one up but you can check for stock online here.
Klippan fish tray
There seem to have been a lot of fish on this site recently, from Marianne Westman's My Garden tray to the Jonathan Adler plate. Here's another slice of retro fish style, the Klippan fish tray.
The tray is designed by Bengt & Lotta, who frequently pop up on this site, and is typical of their fun and graphic style, which frequently references traditional Scandinavian folk art. The tray is covered in fish of all sizes and shapes, decorated in different patterns and colours.
The tray costs £18.95.

Marianne Westman 1950s My Garden tray
We've recently featured some new products based on Marianne Westman's Picknick. Another of her 1950s designs is reinterpreted here for a new market with this My Garden tray.
The tray features a pattern that was originally used on the My Garden porcelain. It shows a platter worth of fish, itself reminiscent of the Jonathan Adler's Neptune design that we featured last week. If you like this design, it's also available on a tea towel and on a cutting board.
This tray costs $28

Marimekko Iltavilli Cow Tray
Following the People Will Always Need Plates Electric Avenue Tray mentioned earlier this week, here is another pop-art style tray, this time by Marimekko.
The Iltavilli Cow Tray is decorated with line drawings of cow set against a brightly coloured background. The design has been created by Miina Äkkijyrkkä, a Helsinki-based artist who is well-know for her cow drawings.
The tray costs £40 from Illustrated Living.
Ary Circular Alabaster tray from Hus & Hem
Hus & Hem have just ordered in a great selection of Ary trays – the classic range of patterned birch wood trays that have been made in Sweden since the Fifties. The selection includes patterns from the Arts and Crafts movement and Liberty fabric designs but it was this circular Albaster tray that caught my eye.
It's another take on the 70s-style folk flowers that are just about everywhere at the moment. This is made interesting by the playful patterns created with the black outline against the white of the tray. Indeed in their product blurb, Hus & Hem say it reminds them of another retro classic – the Spirograph!
The tray costs £21.50
