Some ideas never go out of style. “Paris is always a good idea” says it all, a simple truth rendered in graceful script, full of romance, wanderlust, and the promise of beauty just around the corner. Whether you have a trip on the calendar or simply dream in French, this tray brings a touch of Parisian ease to the everyday.
Handcrafted in the French tradition of decoupage, this bent-glass tray is made in our New York studio, where layers of paper are carefully applied and sealed beneath glass to create depth, softness, and lasting clarity. The illustration reflects Ben’s unmistakable eye for the charming and the unusual, and each piece is individually signed by Ben, a personal detail that makes every tray feel collected rather than produced.
Designed to be both useful and beautiful, Ben’s signature glass decoupage is food safe, wipes clean with ease, and finished with a felted back to protect surfaces. Style it on a vanity, coffee table, or bar cart, stand it upright on a gallery easel, or hang it with a plate hanger for a daily reminder that romance is a mindset. A folded card explaining the time-honored decoupage process accompanies each piece, completing the story behind the craft.

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.
