The third format for Opia's new opening, a separate brief from the dinner. The kit is what the guest carried home.

At its centre, a glass object, part sculpture, part charm, part talisman, drawing on sgraffito, the Alpine tradition of protective marks, and the symbolism of lucky numbers. Hung, placed, or kept hidden, it witnesses what unfolds. 

Around it, five essentials, each carrying a meaning into the new space.

Matches, for the transformation a beginning asks for; a smudge bundle to clear the air; salt to wake the senses; a sourdough starter for wealth, abundance and a table that gathers people; a bread bag to keep what matters close; a talisman to watch over it all.
