Detail of plate 1

Coated with glass on the front and EVA resin on the back

The surface of the dish is shiny, indicating that it is glass coated. The transparency of the glass covering the fabric is also a thing of beauty. And the back side is coated with EVA resin. Because it is resin, it does not slide on the table or tray, making it very easy to use.

The resin finish also helps prevent shattering in the unlikely event that the dish is dropped. The three-layer structure of glass, woven fabric, and resin makes the plate thick to a certain degree, but it is also impressively light compared to ceramic or porcelain plates.

This item conveys that it is made with a focus on ease of use and incorporation into daily life.
