Masanori Oji’s simplistic Switch Tray design is still getting rave reviews. The creation is a switch with a protruding tray underneath it for keys and other small items.
I have often walked through my door without knowing where to place my keys, only to find myself searching for them frantically the next time I leave the house. The Switch Tray lets you place the keys in the place you would look first upon entering, and the last place you would look when exiting your home.
