The Primavera tray Ø31 cm from the Finnish brand Marimekko is a gorgeous platter for serving breakfast in bed or laying out a leisurely afternoon tea. The tray itself has been decorated with the exquisite Primavera pattern, which emanates a humble elegance. “Primavera” is the Finnish word for spring and the pattern symbolizes the earthy splendour of the season. Maija Isola created the pattern while living in Oran, Algeria with the noble landscape serving as her source of inspiration but mixed with a touch of homesickness and melancholy. She longed to return home to Finland where she could once again behold the dawn of a summer sun rising high above a sea of marigolds.
