Why we carry it

We are an authorized blomus retailer and have been curating design-led pieces for the home since 2009. ABENTO is the tray we recommend most for keeping a home tidy: a deep, box-like form inspired by the bento box that corrals remotes, keys, toiletries or desk tools and looks sculptural doing it. blomus is a family company run by the fourth generation of the Blome family in Sundern, Germany. It began in 1921 making bicycle parts, moved into copper, brass, pewter and stainless-steel design pieces in 1961, and has worked under the blomus name since 2000.

Buy once: durability and care

Wipe with a damp cloth and dry right away; do not soak. Its raised sides keep small objects in place when you carry the tray from room to room.
