Industrial Facility, the London studio of designers Sam Hecht and Kim Colin, announced the launch of Platform – a container that can be used to assemble objects on a table or used as a stacking tray for food and beverages.

It consists of a plastic container with four stubby feet and an oak veneer insert. The feet not only allow the contaner to be picked up and moved easily, but also act as a stacking method when one is put inside another. The feet stop the containers from moving side-to-side when stacked. They also do not touch the inner surface, but instead each container rests their edge on the next. The oak insert is coated to be water-resistant and can be removed and placed into a dishwasher.
These small design details remove any visual appearance of a tray that stacks – so that Platform looks complete whether it is alone on a table, or in multiples stacked together into a tower.
Platform is the first project to be launched by Muuto by designers who are not Scandinavian. “Muuto approached us because of our sensitivity to design and the positive e ffects it can bring to people. They found our work having a kindship with Danish philosophy,” explain the designers. “We agreed to work with Muuto because we believe that they are part of a new generation of companies that uses good design in an accessibly priced manner, but with quality that is not overtly diminished”.
