Materials

Corian
Cool / Hygenic / Smooth
As a composite material of 'Vario Serve', whose temperature is always below that of its surroundings due to its low thermal conductivity, it offers new design options due to its inherent hardness and at the same time easy formability.
Glass
Clean / Subtle / Fluid
The glass is a curved material which, depending on its use, can symbolize multiple characteristics; from pure purism to magnificent richness, clean.

Components & Combination
Module Components
Vario Serve consists of two Corian plates, two lids, two bowls and one tray. These components are used in a variety of combinations depending on the user's needs.
Bowl / Lid / Corian Plate
If the user uses a lid that combines the Corian plate as a coaster when they eat, the food can be enjoyed fresh at room temperature by the Corian plate, which maintains the cold temperature all the time.
Corian Plate
Users can also detach the Corian plate from the lid if necessary and use it as a plate for temperature sensitive cheese or milk, or as a function of cutting board.
Tray
A large-sized glass tray allows two bowls to be transported at a time. This helps the user's convenience and effectively uses kitchen space when stored. This tray can be used as an individual tray for food as well.
Bowl / Tray
When the user uses the lid as a coaster, the user can temporarily use the tray with a lid that covers two bowls.
