    I love the interiors Fabio Novembre designs but I can’t help thinking of these trays as kitsch.

    I’m not a big fan of Fabio Novembre but I like these trays a lot, although I think they’re are not very ergonomic. Nice idea.
    Imagine the intern that had to draw all the squares :D

    Are u serious???
    Nice objects, but nothing more. It’ imagery. Novembre isn’t the only italian designer great at the moment: he’s just the most sponsored.
    Have a look around: world is full of good design, even if it’s not on a design blog or on another famous magazine.
