Traymat from Engage Green

The Traymat is a snapping tray made of recycled paper, that doubles as a placement when unsnapped. We have our own use for the traymat in mind already -- remote control holder turned snack mat for the coffee table.

The shape-shifting catchall created by designer Leonor Mendoza for Engage Green, a company she owns with her husband, comes in two sizes and three designs each. The smaller size, 7.5"x4.75"x3.5" (we assume unfolded) is $12. The larger size (called medium) is 10.5"x6.75"x3.5" and $14.

It's ok as a little tray, but the conversion to a placemat seems like an afterthought -seriously, how is that useful? I rarely need only one placemat, but I don't need four or so little trays and if I did I wouldn't want to empty them all out.

But the biggest thing is that it'll get scored and bent as a tray and look crappy flattened out, you can already see it on the picture.

I've lived in San Francisco too long. I read "Trannymat".
