This tray features the iconic 'Elefant' (Elephant) pattern, which is one of the most recognizable designs from Svenskt Tenn. The pattern was created by the legendary designer Estrid Ericson in the late 1930s, inspired by batik fabrics she found during her travels in the Belgian Congo. It has since become a staple of Swedish modern design and a symbol of timeless elegance.

Svenskt Tenn, founded in 1924, remains a prominent interior design shop and brand located on Strandvägen in Stockholm. Many of their classic products, including their birch wood trays, are still handcrafted in Sweden using traditional methods. The brand is owned by the Kjell and Märta Beijer Foundation, ensuring that the legacy of Estrid Ericson and Josef Frank is preserved for future generations while the profits support ecological research and the preservation of Swedish craftsmanship.
