Brodie Tray Table

Description

“This family draws on my interest in the perennial style of tray tables, and the particular form of my store’s signa­ture Aero tray. I began with a new, solidly proportioned, Parsons-like variation on the table form, featuring a proper removeable tray top with Lifting handles. Distinctive spline joinery at the corners along with beautiful, exposed end grain oak create a modernist frame detail for the table. This design and the wonderful quality of woodwork was transferred over to the top of a 1960’s Chinese Modern ­inspired chest of drawers, giving it a special tray top style. On both pieces, the modern rectangular lifting handles are also new and evocative in antique nickel-designed with an echo of antique campaign or map drawer hardware.”  -Designer Thomas O’Brien
