Bright, bold, and unapologetically romantic. Crimson Love Typeset lets one word do all the talking, printed in timeless type and glowing beneath crimson glass. It feels declarative rather than decorative, confident, timeless, and a little theatrical. This is love stated plainly, without qualifiers, the kind meant to be seen from across the room.
Handcrafted in our New York City studio using the traditional French art of decoupage, this bent-glass tray is made one at a time, layering vintage-inspired typeset imagery beneath glass and firing it into permanence. The surface is glossy and luminous, with subtle variations that give the piece depth and character. Each tray is individually signed by Ben, a quiet assurance that it belongs to his world of charming, unusual objects made with intention.
Designed for both beauty and use, the tray is food safe, wipe clean, and finished with a felted back. It can live flat on a tabletop, stand confidently on a gallery easel, or hang with a plate hanger as a graphic statement of affection. A folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process accompanies each piece.

The French call it découpage, pronounced day-coo-pahzh. It flourished in the salons of 18th-century France, where paper, patience, and a steady hand turned everyday objects into works of art.
Ben honors the French technique, in reverse. The artwork goes on the underside of the glass, by hand, so you look through the glass to see it. Nothing sits on the surface. The image seems to float, lit from within, the way a pressed flower looks when you hold it up to a window.
Every design starts with something Ben discovered or created. A pattern he drew. A botanical plate or a scrap of antique paper carried home from a market in Europe, chosen because it meant something.
Decoupage is a science of perfection. Each piece is made slowly in our New York studios by a talented team of artists, patient and exacting, who will not settle for less than a perfect result. Each one is backed in felt, so it can rest safely on a cocktail table, and signed by the artist, Ben Busko.
Each tray is decoupaged by hand beneath the glass. A little care keeps the artwork beautiful.
Suitable for hanging with a plate hanger or standing on a gallery easel.
