Unique design ideas for table decoration, Floating Earth Tray

Floating Earth is a tray for artistic table decoration, designed by Chinese architect Ma Yansong for Alessi. Unusual and interesting tableware item, it can inspire shelves, dining table and coffee table design ideas, bringing the unique shape, attractive combination of materials and philosophical flavor to modern furniture design also.

“A tray, like earth, holds many things, – the designer explains in his poem. – We look to the earth, but can see only what rests upon it. She fades from sight and seems not to exist, yet she persists.

A boundless surface upon which all is reflected; the home, the city, an ever-expanding scope. Each rising layer, then, a tower storey. An unscripted space full of kinetic potential, but rooted in the still, same earth.

There is nothing without the earth, and yet the earth is not here for us – she can leave anytime. It is the blue sky that she loves.”
