The hand-selected indigo blue is a recurrent colour throughout the museum. First displayed in the historic sandstone portal at the front door that dated from 1757, its unique hue has continued to be a central part of the museum’s identity and interior ever since.
Award-winning architects OEO Studio renovated and refurbished the museum in 2022 to include the special blue tray table as a permanent part of the interior of the Danish design destination, including featuring it in the café, library and lounge areas.
As a vital part of Danish modernist design heritage, the tray table has only grown in popularity since its origin in 1963. With its simplicity, ease of use and sculptural qualities, it continues to be relevant to changing times and appeal across new generations.
Every Tray Table is mounted with a brass plate that contains Hans Bølling’s signature and has the individual piece number engraved as a certificate of authenticity. It is discretely placed on the inside of the stretcher of the Tray Table.
Each table is uniquely handcrafted from FSC certified oak, in the signature indigo blue colour, coated with durable varnish
91-year-old Hans Bølling comments:
“I have been coming to the museum myself since I was young and have always appreciated it for its important role in our Danish cultural history, meaning I am enormously proud and honoured that my design is now a living part of this institution.”

Hans Bølling is a master in his field, and he combines his talent with a pure and honest approach to designing functional and aesthetic furniture to create design that appeals across generations”.
