OKU Round Oak Tray by Peter Lienhart for blomus

OKU Round Oak Tray by Peter Lienhart for blomus — A round tray in solid FSC-certified oak, natural or black, in 9.9-inch and 13.4-inch sizes.

Part of OKU, Peter Lienhart’s solid-oak trays for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Lienhart pared the tray back to a circle of oak and a low lip, so the wood is the only ornament. Lienhart, an industrial designer trained in Pforzheim, likes forms so pure that nothing on them is decoration. OKU is that idea in solid oak.

OKU is a tray reduced to a slab of oak with a low lip, in natural grain or deep black. The wood is FSC certified and comes from Northern European forests, according to blomus.

Why You’ll Love It

Solid oak feels substantial and looks better with age. The round shape softens a square coffee table, and the low edge keeps glasses from sliding off. Use it as a serving tray at breakfast and a styling tray the rest of the day.

Made for Real Life

Wipe with a soft, damp cloth; do not soak it or use abrasive or acidic cleaners. Like all natural wood, it can be marked by strong sunlight, standing water or long exposure to moisture, so wipe spills promptly. Natural wood varies in grain and tone from tray to tray. Pairs well with the rectangular oak tray, oval tray and prosecco glass.

Product Details

Where It Shines

It looks at home on a coffee table under candles and a vase, carrying espresso to the sofa, on a nightstand holding a carafe, or in an entry for keys.

Questions We Hear Most

What fits on the small OKU round oak tray?

Does the OKU round oak tray match the rectangular OKU trays?

Why We Love It

Solid oak, clean lines, two finishes: OKU works as hard on a coffee table as it does at breakfast. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
