Whimsical Trays from Ibride

Ibride is a French design studio that creates unconventional furniture and design elements for the home. Their collection of trays showcases a menagerie of animals in mystical and regal settings. Their newest designs have a sort of Alice in Wonderland meets Michel Gondry aesthetic, and are fascinatingly beautiful…

On their beautifully designed website, Ibride speaks of their travels and their “very close environment” as inspiring them. A short film on the website is a great window into what this design team is about. You get a great representation of their design aesthetic, their inspiration and their studio space.

02.12.09 trays 2.jpg We’re having a hard time deciding if we would even want to put anything on their trays! Each one references the shape and imagery of an elaborate painting, and can be used just as easily as wall décor. Their rich, jewel-toned color palettes make these pieces an amazing accent or focal point in the home. Created of high pressure laminate, the trays are “thoroughly functional and lifestyle enhancing at the same time.”

Well, I haven't seen this post before and I have to say.......I saw these trays in a store in Austin last week and was immediately drawn to them! I'd love to buy one if I had the dough......

I have loved these trays for a while, but definitely don't have that kind of cash to blow on a tray.

Once you notice things being re-posted on here, that's when you know you spend too much time on this site...

I've been in love with Ibride's trays forever and plan to finally buy a few when I visit London in March. They're a good $50 cheaper there -- as long as the exchange rate holds, anyway.

And yeah, repost. Not that I mind....

I love the idea to use these as wall decor. I'm particularly drawn to the oval-shaped portraits... and as far as "reposting" goes, I don't find it offensive at all when the original post was uninformative/non-descript and showed only a fraction of the work! Thanks, Jessica!
