Vassoio BM1069

The BM1069 Tray is made from untreated, FSC-certified teak. Teak is prized for its natural oil content, dimensional stability, and resistance to moisture, which makes it well-suited to both indoor settings and outdoor environments.

Yes. Teak's natural oils provide inherent weather resistance, and the untreated finish means the tray can be used on a terrace or in a garden without special treatment. Over time, exposure to the elements will cause the wood to develop a silver-grey patina.

The BM1069 was designed by Børge Mogensen, one of the most consequential figures in Danish modernism. Mogensen studied under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy and developed a practice grounded in functional clarity, careful proportion, and respect for materials.

Untreated teak requires minimal care. For indoor use, occasional wiping with a damp cloth is sufficient. If you wish to preserve the warm honey tone of new teak, a periodic application of teak oil will slow the natural greying process, though many prefer to allow the patina to develop naturally.

Carl Hansen & Søn approaches accessories with the same principles applied to their furniture: honest materials, considered proportions, and a commitment to objects that improve with use. Many pieces in the collection extend the vision of canonical Danish designers whose furniture the brand has produced for decades.
