Tray Cool

Posted March 17, 2010

The Chill serving platter, from the Danish team of Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen and Kasper Rønn, may look like a classic piece of Scandinavian design, but it packs a novel surprise. Hidden between the melamine tray and the porcelain plate is a cooling pad that keeps cheese, sushi, or smørrebrød at the perfect temperature. Now you can possess the secret: the platter, which won a 2010 Design Plus award, is available at the MoMA Design Store.
