Alvar Tray by  for .

The Alvar Tray is the oldest product in the Nikari portfolio, dating back to the initial years of the company in the 1960s when it was a one-man-workshop company.

The Alvar Tray was born out of a collaboration between Nikari and Alvar Aalto’s architecture office that spanned from 1967 to 1974, the tray encapsulating the uncompromising Finnish craftsmanship of both collaborators. Along with Alvar Aalto and other makers, Nikari founder Kari Virtanen would go on to define the characteristics of Finnish design.

The original Alvar trays are still in use in the Lakeuden Risti convention centre they were made for.
