Richard Rohac Handled Tray
An elegant tray, or vide-poche, designed by Richard Rohac and handmade in Vienna, Austria, c.1950.
Rohac's brass objects are defined by a sleek, restrained aesthetic which seemingly blurs the line between Mid-Century Modern and Art Deco. With clean lines and a softened geometry, his appealing designs carry a quiet strength and distinctive character.
This tray, both decorative and functional, takes the form of a softened square with rounded edges. Its black-patinated surface is set against polished brass, creating a striking contrast that emphasises its sculptural form.
