About Etern Decantador

Etern es un decantador de veire concebut per lo servici del vin a la taula. La forma d'Etern s'inspira de la seccion transversala del temps, e lo contorn corbat presenta cada instant coma son pròpri fragment d'eternitat. Lo veire es utilizat per sa qualitat transparenta, que mòstra la color del vin e l'aparença leugièra del recipient pendent la decantacion. Quand lo vin es versat, l'aire traversa lo liquide e l'aerèja. Etern es formada per soflatge de veire, e un procès personalizat foguèt desvolopat per correspondre a la concepcion. La pèça es pensada coma una declaracion serena per la taula.
