Sofa Tray
Sofa Tray is a narrow rectangular tray especially designed for use on
upholstered surfaces. With the angled edges of its long sides facing upwards,
it can rest next to the sitter on a sofa cushion, alongside a newspaper on an
ottoman, or even on a wide sofa armrest. Made of steel and covered on both
sides with split leather, it provides a sturdy, non-slip surface. The Sofa Tray
serves as a secure base for cups and glasses, snack bowls, books etc., offering
a tidy and attractive storage solution.
Though originally developed as an accessory for Grand Sofà – its
angled edges fit perfectly face down over the sofa's rearward ledge – the Sofa
Tray can be used with any type of sofa.

Antonio Citterio is an Italian architect and

Citterio worked primarily in the field of industrial design in collaboration with
Paolo Nava. At the same time, he also pursued his own work in both architecture
and interior design. Between 1986 and 1996, he worked alongside his
wife, architect Terry Dwan, designing buildings in Europe and Japan. In 1987
and 1994, Antonio Citterio received the Compasso d’Oro-ADI award. In 2000, he
founded “Antonio Citterio and Partners”, an architecture and interior design
practice, actively developing projects across the globe and embracing all
scales of intervention to develop complex design projects in synergy with a
qualified network of consultancy specialists. In 2010, the practice changed its
name to “Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel and Partners”. Today the practice is
known as “ACPV Architects Antonio Cittterio Patricia Viel” and is led by Citterio,
