Thermo Dome Cast Iron Pot

Thermo Dome

Thermo Dome is a cast iron pot designed for baking, roasting and slow cooking. A thermometer is built into the lid handle, so the temperature can be read from above or through an oven door glass panel without opening the oven. The domed panoramic scale keeps the reading clear, and the pot keeps its full volume and shape. A hot safe indicator shows when the lid is too hot to touch. The pot is made from recycled iron by sand casting and CNC machining, then finished with baked enamel. A lid hanger and an integrated spoon rest are also included.

Trustlucent Connected Dining Table

Trustlucent

Trustlucent is a dining table designed to attach to a kitchen island or a wall. The tabletop has thin reinforced beech wood edges and a 2mm oak veneer surface that resists moisture and scratches.

Hidden connections and a U-shaped aluminium profile fixed to the floor hold the glass in place without stress. The table serves dining, study and gathering while keeping the view through a window open.

Spiral of Life Glass Tableware

Spiral of Life

In a fusion of mathematical structure and kinetic art, the Spiral of Life project presents a new direction for Kiriko glassware. This work captures the organic fluctuation of nature within a glass medium. The development originated from a collaboration between the designer and Ree, a paint dancer. By translating Fibonacci sequences into movement, Ree provided the conceptual framework for the design. Through 8 to 13 and 13 to 21 spiral ratios, the artisan connects traditional craft with biomathematics. The resulting harmony offers a rhythmic experience reflecting the natural pulse of the world.
