Cake Stand
These fabulous cake stands were designed by Mattia di Rosa, an Italian designer hailing from Carrara. His obsessive experimental approach focuses on his fascination with errors and chance, the two qualities he considers the focal point of his creative process. This fun piece has a great undersea feel that would add an entertaining element to any modern kitchen.
