Limited Edition

Available exclusively on Brdr-Kruger.com and in Designmuseum Danmark.

Hans Bølling’s iconic Tray Table is now available in a special limited edition of only 500 pieces, made in Designmuseum Danmark’s signature colour.

Signature Color
The hand-selected indigo blue is a recurrent colour throughout the museum. First displayed in the historic sandstone portal at the front door that dated from 1757, its unique hue has continued to be a central part of the museum’s identity and interior ever since.

Part of the museum
Award-winning architects OEO Studio renovated and refurbished the museum in 2022 to include the special blue tray table as a permanent part of the interior of the Danish design destination, including featuring it in the café, library and lounge areas.

Timeless design
Bridging the gap between the strength of the past and the possibilities of the future has always been a core part of Designmuseum Danmark. The collaboration between Brdr. Krüger and Hans Bølling is a new turn on this, portraying the active role the museum chooses to play in the communication of ever-developing design.

An icon of Danish design
As a vital part of Danish modernist design heritage, the tray table has only grown in popularity since its origin in 1963. With its simplicity, ease of use and sculptural qualities, it continues to be relevant to changing times and appeal across new generations.

A collectable item of 500 pieces
Every Tray Table is mounted with a brass plate that contains Hans Bølling’s signature and has the individual piece number engraved as a certificate of authenticity. It is discretely placed on the inside of the stretcher of the Tray Table.

Bring a piece of the museum into your own home
We believe everyone should be able to take a fresh piece of the museum home with them. There is a link between the deep blue tone in our fantastic building and the well-known Tray Table in this collaboration, which we hope many people will take home from their visit – as an exclusive emblem across the decades”

“I have been coming to the museum myself since I was young and have always appreciated it for its important role in our Danish cultural history, meaning I am enormously proud and honoured that my design is now a living part of this institution.”
