I would go completely ocd and find try to every week find one new item in the color of every separate dish, and display them either on the dish in the same color for a camouflaged harmonious look or mix up the colors for a slightly more wild but still harmonious look. Have to make a schedule.

----- Mary Lockwood 15.12.12 19:27

I would send these to my stepson who does a lot of entertaining. He would put canapes on them.

----- Kirsten 15.12.12 18:51

I’d put a bird on it because I’m from Portland Oregon

----- Carthagh 15.12.12 17:24

Probably my Andrew Bell Android collectibles. These would make for a great base on my display.

----- Bruce S 14.12.12 22:44

These trays would be an amazing way to serve the cookies/sweeets for family parties. Currently, we’ve got an odd mix of other trays and chargers for them during family parties. Although, the pops of color will make it that much harder to keep the little ones’ hands away.

----- Mikey 14.12.12 18:41

candles, hors d’oevres, cocktails - perfect for NYE party

----- Natalie 14.12.12 16:54

I would put snacks and candies in them.

Fancy Jello Shots, resting in color coordinated paper cups. And I imagine all the empty cups would end up in a lovely colorful tangle across the trays by the end of the party.

Delicious apps! Or colorful candies…

----- Mia 14.12.12 10:43

Holiday fondue party (Gruyère of course): I’d pile some of them high with the bread and fruit for the fondue, others with home made candies like ribbon candy and fudge, and the larger trays I’d use for serving cocktails. Voilà

----- Noelle Stiles 14.12.12 09:23

this is such an interesting look, the wy they fit together and make different designs. i would organize my perfume collection. what a great way to intersect some with others. citrus scents in one, vanilla scents in another, then deal with the intersection of the two in a third, perhaps by stacking one inside another.

----- mridula 14.12.12 09:22

A few pieces of heirloom jewelry, random spare change, a .50 caliber shell casing from a rifle I got to shoot, a few photos, some tabletop design books that I shouldn’t be keeping stashed away, and maybe a terrarium. OH, and my cat will probably decide to wander up there every now and then.

----- Charlotte Terry 14.12.12 08:06

Don’t worry about what I will put inside the trays, just put THEM IN MY KITCHEN!

----- Laura Trivilino 14.12.12 07:43

----- erick hilmansyah 14.12.12 04:14

Nothing! I’ll put the set up as artwork on my walls.

----- Siong Chan 14.12.12 03:35

I would nest tray upon tray upon tray! Seems a shame to ruin beautiful form by adding function…

----- Nelius Botha 14.12.12 01:41

All the things I keep losing on a daily basis.

----- B Louie 14.12.12 00:15

I would put trays in my trays so I could serve while I serve.

----- Daniel 13.12.12 23:55

Bought a lot of Belgian truffles and cookies from Brussels. These color trays will be perfect marriage.

----- Jason Lin 13.12.12 22:05

I think I’d actually like to put them on my ceiling. Ceilings are such a neglected part of a room.

----- Sharon 13.12.12 21:17

Christmas cookie baking party is coming up. Think I can make 7 kinds of cookies?

----- Andrea 13.12.12 14:53

I like the idea of filling each tray with something that matches in color so it is almost impossible to detect. Just because.

----- Josh Weinstein 13.12.12 14:44

Actually, I wouldn’t put too many in it. The trays make me feel happy and content. Just some flowers in the summer, a little candle in the winter.

----- Ruut 13.12.12 14:36

The perfect Display for my fried salad! All the different fun colored vegetables could have their own trays from stuffed mushrooms to artichoke hearts to latkas, and you could mix and match dips—aolis and chutneys and mustards—with dry spices in the smaller pieces. And I have the perfect lazy susan for this to work!

Theses would work on almost any coffee table, of course especially mine! I would use these trays for parties by putting things like: macrona almonds, pistachios, cheese, crackers, green apple slices (in the smaller trays). In the larger trays, I would put a bottle of St Germain, fresh squeezed lime juice, and Henricks gin. For everyday use, I would place a candle, my bust of John F.

Our Christmas Eve buffet!

I’d probably end up using these as dinnerware! So gorgeous!

----- Devin Vermeulen 12.12.12 08:30

----- shannon 12.12.12 06:10

Colourful Kaleido trays deserve suitably colourful (and undoubtedly delicious) foods. I’d fill mine with plump summer fruits - pomegranate jewels atop juicy watermelon squares alongside West Australian cherries drowned in passionfruit, all with some cheeky cream on the side.

----- Emma 12.12.12 05:54

some nice scandinavian dishes like delicious fish and swedish meatballs to honor them for their beautiful design!

I would used them for the first cocktail party in the atomic ranch we just bought. I’d fill them with a mix of finger foods from Trader Joe’s and Wegmans.

----- Jennifer 12.12.12 03:17

Probably nothing, because they are beautiful just like this. Of course I wouldnt mind getting served some breakfast in bed on these either ;)

----- Deniz 12.12.12 02:31

Since I’m on a diet, but in LOVE with food: healthy snacks! Dried figs, raw veggies, a good pile of unsalted nuts (pecans, macademia nuts, pistachios and cashews are my favorites). Some really good cheeses: a soft goats chees w/ honey and some nice old Manchego… And some really good olive oil with a few drops of Balsamic vinegar and Maldon Salt, home made pesto and sour cream with cilantro, lime juice and garlic for dips. Great… Now I’m hungry

----- Mieke 12.12.12 02:13

This is such a great assortment of colors and shapes, a very playful and yet classy object to share and interact with!

----- Morgane de klerk 12.12.12 02:04

The head of John the Baptist.

----- Chris K 12.12.12 01:52

This is going to be in 10 years a classic, because after a few days you can still arrange them in a different setting and it is never the same configuration. The more plates you have the more chances to have a rich pattern. What I like is the negative space that the shapes on top make. The shapes that you don’t have but are leftover from combining 2 shapes together. It’s endless!
It is a pity that you cannot serve food in it, but there are tons of other options for them. Just empty on the table is beautiful enough!

----- I. Clason 12.12.12 01:31

A big range of delicious Spanish tapas!

----- Adam S 11.12.12 18:15

I think these trays are beautiful as-is with nothing cluttering up the design. I may use them to hold treats during get-togethers, but they would mostly sit empty on my coffee table.

----- Cindy Aiton 11.12.12 18:10

Cheese, but anything would look good really…
