Serve in a unique way
At its best, the serving dish is a real multitasker, which, in addition to table setting, is suitable as a decoration, candy bowl, or key box in the hallway. Marimekko's Koppa serving dish comes with a leather handle, making it easy to carry delicacies to the terrace, for example.
