A textured white opal glass body diffuses the light to create a soft atmosphere, in its upper recess is inserted a glass bowl to accommodate food to share. A higher and a wider bowl, almost a dish, can combine or alternate at its top. These and the lamp itself are made of handmade glass, unique pieces whose material quality, transparency and color generate a special interaction with light and food. The attention to detail is maximum to give the right value to the object and to what it relates.
