PHILIPPI : Clara

Snack Tray with 3 Small Bowls 26 cm

Three bowls, one handle and rather good prospects

Raspberries at breakfast, nuts with an aperitif and perhaps three dips later that were only meant to be a small extra: the PHILIPPI CLARA Snack Tray with 3 Bowls has a habit of finding itself at the centre of things. The set combines a round tray with three removable bowls, bringing together a clean graphic shape and a wonderfully understated slate green colour. Made from steel with a matt, powder-coated and enamelled finish, CLARA feels contemporary without demanding attention on the table. The surfaces are food-safe and scratch-resistant, allowing snacks to be served directly in the bowls. The tray measures 26 x 26 cm, reaches a height of 14 cm with its distinctive carrying handle and weighs 1.6 kg. That handle makes the journey from kitchen to dining table, coffee table or terrace pleasantly easy, while the raised rim visually keeps the arrangement together. And because the three little bowls are not permanently attached, they are quite welcome to wander around the table once they arrive.

Small bowls, plenty of freedom to serve

CLARA is designed for those occasions when several small things deserve a place on the table at once. Olives, nuts and crackers with drinks, berries and fruit at breakfast or a selection of dips and antipasti in the evening can be kept separate while still forming one calm arrangement. The three bowls can sit together on the tray or be distributed around the table, while the remaining tray surface offers additional room for serving. At 26 cm across, the PHILIPPI snack tray is compact enough for a coffee table yet generous enough for a relaxed gathering. The matt slate green looks particularly appealing against natural timber, as the product setting beautifully demonstrates. Ceramics, clear glass and linen complement the muted colour just as naturally. The result is a practical serving set that looks good enough to stay out between occasions rather than immediately disappearing into a cupboard.

Slate green turns out to be a rather good host

PHILIPPI is an owner-managed design company headquartered in Henstedt-Ulzburg near Hamburg. Since being founded by Jan Philippi, the brand has established an international presence with home accessories alongside gifts and objects for travel, work and the bar. PHILIPPI is particularly known for clean forms and a confident approach to metal. CLARA translates that design language in a quieter direction: instead of reflective stainless steel, powder-coated steel, a matt surface and a muted slate green colour define its character. The set is manufactured in India and brings design and functionality together in a way that is genuinely useful in everyday life. At LIVOSY, CLARA sits naturally alongside other PHILIPPI bowls including LOTUS, MANHATTAN, MARGARETHE, MESH and TRIO. We like objects that organise a table beautifully without telling you what the evening is supposed to look like.

Berries today, olives tomorrow

That flexibility is what makes the CLARA Snack Tray such an easy companion for different moments. In the morning, the three bowls can hold fruit, nuts and breakfast extras; in the afternoon, biscuits and something sweet; and in the evening, snacks, dips or antipasti. When guests arrive, the entire set can be carried comfortably by its handle before the individual bowls are placed wherever they are needed around the table. CLARA also makes a thoughtful gift for enthusiastic hosts, although it works equally well for anyone who takes a good snack seriously even when nobody is visiting. Pair it with glasses, small plates, a carafe or other PHILIPPI accessories for an easy serving arrangement that does not require a special occasion. Three bowls filled with good things can, after all, be quite enough of an occasion themselves.
