Product designer [Gaia Bottari](http://gaiabottari.it/?ref=protein.xyz), inspired by stacking games that everyone loved as a kid, designed [VARIA](http://gaiabottari.it/V-A-R-I-A?ref=protein.xyz), a set of tableware that is modular in nature, and made up of pieces that can be mixed and matched.  
  
Sleek and minimalist, the objects in her collection are made out of marble, wood, plastic and cork. Users can stack them on top of each other, and slot them together, creating different pieces every time. The set would make a perfect present for those who can never make up their mind, and love transformable objects.
