Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Edo saucepans constitute a blend of different cultural references and formal suggestions. Edo is the former name of Tokyo and the reference to Japan for this project originates from a crockery set that the designer uses in her own kitchen. She purchased these saucepans in Japan, and their simple, graceful design was the source of inspiration for the Edo series. A playful combination of references that brings to mind the very essence of cooking: the mixing of different ingredients to create dishes.

Softens when wet, cleans kitchen surfaces virtually streak-free, and washes and dries like a dream. Made of earth-friendly 70% cellulose and 30% cotton.

Designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune. Brass. Over time, the brass acquires a patina of light scratches from the bottles setting on it.
