About
HappyTrays - A family business
The story of HappyTrays is our story of finding a meaningful project to express our passion for the Scandinavian lifestyle.
Never did we think that our move to Sweden would affect us so much. In 2018, we went to Stockholm for two years professionally. Karin as a managing director in the pharmaceutical industry and I, Andreas, as an architect. Sweden very quickly became a second home for us. Almost four years later, during an extended trip to the north, with our son and dog, it overtook us again: how do we bring a piece of this lifestyle and the joy it gives us back to Switzerland?
The answer had long been part of our lives, a tray made of birch wood, which Swedish friends had given us for the birth of our son. A practical, beautiful everyday object that belongs in every fine living room in Sweden. Combined with lively, cheerful patterns, which are inspired by the diversity of nature and the forests of the North - The first HappyTrays were born.

Designed for living

Handcrafted in Sweden
The production of a HappyTrays is real craftsmanship. They are individually handmade under exemplary conditions and in small quantities on the island of Öland in Sweden.
HappyTrays are made of sustainable birch veneer, which means it comes from forests that are managed in a long-term and responsible manner. In addition, we invest a percentage of our revenue in the protection of regional forests and their biodiversity.
