McTATRA  by Martyn Žabka :

Bowl – vahan served for food preparation, carrying flour, shaping the dough or as a container for food since time out of mind. Chairs exerted paradoxically in folk dwellings rather late – only late in the 20s of the 20th century they are a common inventory of traditional dwellings.Combining of more than 80-year-old Vahan coming from the Podpoľanie region and slightly younger chairs tableware set titled McTatra originated. Family dining is now reduced to a quick dinner in pairs or even alone. The object reflects the contrast of our over-busy reality, to rituals of worship of the self-grown food.
