Decorative cocktail or buying desk tray inlaid with blue "stereophonic" graphics from vintage vinyl album covers
This one-of-a-kind cocktail tray celebrates the midcentury fascination with all.
This one-of-a-kind cocktail tray celebrates the midcentury fascination with all things stereophonic and was made by inlaying a collage of "stereo" graphics cut from the album covers of actual vintage LP records, all in a blue color scheme. The wood tray measures 15" x 9.5" x 1" and has decorative and functional metal bracket details on the corners. This would work as a small serving tray, or resting on a dresser or desk to hold doo-dads (phones, keys, eye glasses, knick-knacks, etc.).
HOW WAS THIS MADE?
I curated and trimmed out graphic portions of 10 different vintage vinyl record album covers. I glued the pieces together in a collage, which I laminated by hand on the front for a smooth, glossy, water-resistant surface that is easy to wipe clean. This laminated graphic "stereo stack" was then attached to the inside bottom of the tray with strong adhesive.
VINTAGE MATERIALS
This inlay was made from the actual cardboard album covers, they are not reproductions! As such, they are vintage materials that have character and patina showing that they were bought, handled, played, and stored for decades. Some may show minor signs of ring wear or have a small tear, mark, or water spot. That's how you know they are real! I fully laminate them on the front so all of these minimal imperfections are protected. The tray is in good condition.
