This mail tray was designed in the early 1980s by Enzo Mari for Kartell, one of the most influential names in modern plastic furniture and object design.
Originally conceived as a simple correspondence tray for everyday use, the piece reflects Mari’s philosophy: honest forms, no decoration, just function and intelligence. The proportions are clean, the lines are sharp, and the industrial plastic construction gives it that unmistakable post-modern Italian look.
It’s the kind of object that quietly upgrades a desk: practical, graphic, timeless.
Perfect for letters, documents, magazines, or simply as a sculptural storage piece.
