Hasbro Monopoly Lap Tray and Coasters

Posted on | Leave a comment

000113731If you spent a terse Christmas day playing board games with the family, then you might not want a product that is a further reminder, but if Monopoly only has happy childhood memories for you, then you may be interested in the Hasbro Monopoly Lap Tray and Coasters.

These are official products so the designs are exactly the same as on the classic London version of the board. The tray has an easy-wipe print of the game board on the top and a think cushion base underneath, made from beans which mould to fit your lap comfortably. The coasters take their design from the four corners of the Monopoly board.

The tray costs £16 and the coasters £6 from John Lewis.

Darling Clementine Woodland trays

Woodland tray
Cast your mind back and you may remember the Woodland cards: a colourful take on the 70s folk trend courtesy of Norway's Darling Clementine. If you thought those cards too good to send to someone else, they are now available in a more permanent form, in the shape of these Woodland trays. 

Darling Clementine have selected four of their favourite designs and applied them onto birch veneer trays of various sizes and shapes. Each design uses the same reduced pink, black and white colour scheme to create a striking look. And, on the folk theme, each image is packed full of owls, foxes, flowers and other natural delights. 

Currently only available to pre-order, the tray pictured will cost you $35.

Smorgasbord tray by Barbro Tryberg Boberg and Maria Holmer Dahlgren

Smorgasboard

Add a touch of Scandinavian retro style to your kitchen with this smorgasbord tray designed by Maria Holmer Dahlgren and Barbra Tryberg Boberg.

Neither designer is a stranger to this site: Maria Holmer Dahlgren, whose London trays and tea towels are well known, and Barbra Tryberg Boberg who was featured recently for her Formverket Formica kitchenware. 

The design has a strong 1950s look with its skeletal depiction of plants and vegetables that have been illustrated in black and picked out in a second colour. It has the same feel as Marianne Westman's recently reissued 1956 Picknick design (you can now get that tray in the UK from New House Textiles for £15.50). Made from Swedish birch veneer, this tray design should hopefully have the same longevity.  

The tray costs £15.95.

Product_CC149_3 
Still on a foodie theme, but this time the inspiration is the most sophisticated 70s starter, the prawn cocktail As part of a series of illustrations on a fish theme,

Gillian Blease has produced Prawn Cocktail coasters, mats and trays. The pink prawns are pictured falling into a cocktail glass and it may just be my imagination but they look rather anxious!

An individual coaster costs £4.95 and large trays costs £24.95, with the prices for the table mats and smaller tray being between the two. If you want to buy six of any product, you can mix and match with other designs from the fish range. Buy them online from Jenny Duff.

Marianne Westman Picknick design reissued

Posted on | 1 Comment

AlmedahlsMyGardenTray

There's a lot of classic 1950s and 60s designs being re-issued at the moment with Marianne Westman's Picknick another one to add to that long list. 

Picknick was originally launched in 1956 and shows a variety of Scandinavian food stuffs laid out as if for, you guessed it, a picnic. The sketchy depiction of the food is typical for the period and still looks fresh and appealing today.

That's good news for Almedahls who've been given the licence to reproduce the design. As well as the tray shown, it's available on a cutting board, a pot stand, a tea towel and a canvas bag.

The range starts at $16 for the tea towel while this serving tray costs $36.

Doran Geo-wallpaper

Ella Doran's new Geometrical Repeat range includes the company's first ever wallpaper design. The pattern is a softer take on op-art made from subtly shaded pyramid shapes. 

The design has been digitally printed onto wallpaper which costs £110 a roll. If either the price or the look of that is too much, it's also available on table mats, coasters or a tray. Alternatively you could buy them all and really make yourself or visitors see shapes!
