Cortado Trays was born from the rugged beauty of the San Juan Mountains and the expansive high desert of Colorado’s Western Slope—a landscape where precision meets raw, natural inspiration. Rooted in this striking environment, the brand was born of a chance meeting in a Montrose coworking space, where two creative minds discovered a shared vision for blending artistry with function.

Guided by the craftsmanship honed in Telluride’s finest architectural spaces and a design sensibility shaped by global branding experience, the collaboration evolved into something extraordinary. Inspired by the interplay of nature’s textures and modern design principles, the pair set out to craft food and beverage trays that are as enduring as the mountains themselves.

Each tray is a testament to this vision: thoughtfully designed, meticulously crafted from sustainable materials, and individually finished to create products that embody the spirit of their surroundings—both timeless and uniquely modern.
