The Varia Tableware is a modular dish set that indecisive individuals will love. It will also appeal to those who love to change things up on the regular. Inspired by the classic children's stacking game, the Varia Tableware is comprised of pieces that can be mixed and matched to look completely different every time.
Designed by Gaia Bottari, a product designer based in Milan, Italy, the Varia Tableware is essentially a game itself. Of course, it is much more practical. It is made out of marble, wood, plastic and cork materials to keep things even more interesting. The different textures complement each other beautifully. Each piece is meant to be defined by the user.
The Varia Tableware is comprised of seven designs that include what could be termed a bowl, platter and vase.
