The experts paid special attention to the fact that the concept of Aeroflot tableware is a modern interpretation of Russian table setting using traditional forms. The collection is based on the image of a Russian wooden bucket – a skopkar, and a colored wooden spoon has turned into an elegant metal one, but at the same time with a characteristic tip.
