Thirtyone Design + Management

Butler is an elegant, minimalist serving trolley designed to blend seamlessly into refined interiors, concealing all functional elements. Its distinctive feature is the invisible wheel system, fully integrated into the base. When not in motion, Butler appears as a fixed, sophisticated piece of furniture. Made from wood and steel with tempered glass surfaces, it features clean lines with no visible screws or joints. Easy to clean and heat-resistant, it combines practicality with refined aesthetics. Discreet in function, Butler moves only when needed, then returns to a stable, “invisible” presence-perfectly harmonizing with its surroundings.
