Seasons Serving Trays - Set of 4

$288

Made by COVO

Designed by Nao Tamura

Nao Tamura conceived the Seasons Serving Trays from a close observation of Japanese food culture, where the leaf has long served as both vessel and ceremony. Each tray is formed in flexible silicone, shaped to echo the organic geometry of a real leaf, with a natural variation that makes no two pieces identical in character.

The silicone material is central to the design's logic. It allows each tray to be rolled, folded, or stacked without losing its form, moving between kitchen and table with ease. The manufacturing process is low in energy consumption, a consideration Tamura treats as part of the design rather than an afterthought.

  • Set of four trays in leaf-inspired silhouettes
  • Food-safe, flexible silicone construction
  • Winner of the Salone Satellite award, Milan 2010
  • Designed by Nao Tamura for COVO
  • Suitable for serving, organizing, or display

Tamura, a New York-based Japanese designer, works at the intersection of cultural memory and material research. The Seasons trays received the Salone Satellite award at the Milan Salone Internazionale del Mobile in 2010, a recognition that confirmed their place within the broader conversation about thoughtful, culturally grounded industrial design.
