The story
The Pilier Tray S is a matte black cast steel tray from the Sizar Alexis Collection, the most compact format in the Pilier tray series. Its form is rectangular, with a recessed inner basin and a flat surrounding flange. A locking mechanism on one side allows for adjustment or repositioning. The surface is dark and textured; the proportions, solid.
Pilier references both the architectural term for column and the Eskilstuna metalworking tradition Sizar Alexis grew up alongside. His father's metal tool factory produces the components; the studio provides the form. The collection also acknowledges what the designer calls "the early Mesopotamian invention of metalworking," connecting ancient history to a contemporary Swedish manufacturing context.
The Pilier Tray S functions as a contained surface for objects or as a standalone decorative piece. Available on Monde Singulier within the Pilier series, alongside the Pilier Tray Low, Pilier Side Table, and Pilier Low Console Table.
About Sizar Alexis
Sizar Alexis is a Swedish-Iraqi designer based in Eskilstuna, working at the intersection of Scandinavian brutalist design and ancient Mesopotamian heritage.
Before founding his studio in 2019, Alexis spent six years as a design engineer at Volvo, then studied fine arts at Beckmans College of Design. That formation, between industrial engineering and fine arts, shapes his practice throughout. He works with blackened steel, pine wood, and leather, materials both abundant in the Swedish landscape and tied to Eskilstuna's historic steel industry. Components for his pieces are produced in his father's metal tool factory, then hand-assembled in his own studio.
His work holds two forces in tension: the geometric weight of brutalist forms and the cultural memory of ancient Mesopotamia. "I want to convey a sense of chaos and harmony at the same time," he has said. As a descendant of the Chaldean diaspora with roots tracing to northern Iraq, Alexis channels that history into functional sculpture. Collections such as Lahmu and Ousia translate Mesopotamian symbolism into geometric furniture, pieces that read simultaneously as domestic objects and as cultural arguments. The Discovered exhibition at the Design Museum in London in 2021 brought his work to international attention; the Common/un/common duo show at Atelier Ecru Gallery in Ghent in 2022 confirmed its standing. He is an AD 100 designer.
On Monde Singulier, his pieces offer collectible design furniture that carries historical depth rarely found in Scandinavian production.
