FAQs

What material is the Vitra Classic Tray made of?

The tray is made of lightweight cardboard with a polished laminate finish.

How should I clean the tray?

Wipe it clean with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or soaking the tray in water.

Is this tray suitable for serving hot dishes?

It is best to use placemats or coasters under hot dishes to protect the surface. The tray is not designed for direct contact with very hot items.

Can I use this tray outdoors?

It is not recommended for outdoor use, as exposure to elements like moisture and direct sunlight can damage the material and finish.

What does the 'Grid' motif represent?

The 'Grid' motif is one of many patterns created by Alexander Girard, reflecting his exploration of colors and shapes for modern living.

Is the tray stackable?

While designed for individual use, multiple trays can be carefully stacked on top of each other for storage, provided care is taken not to scratch the surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Surface appears smudged or dusty

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.

Minor scuff marks on the polished finish

For very light scuffs, try polishing gently with a soft, dry cloth. Deeper scuffs may be permanent due to the material.

Tray feels flimsy when carrying items

Ensure items are distributed evenly. Avoid overloading the tray, especially with heavy or concentrated loads. It is designed for lighter service.
