FORIS HANDLE - REMOVABLE HANDLE - WALNUT WOOD - KINTO

Removable walnut wood handle, compatible with plates and bowls from Kinto's Foris line.

Dimensions: W140 x D25 x H10 mm

FORIS is functional beauty. A collection of enameled stainless steel tableware designed for camping, barbecues, and the great outdoors, as well as for the home and daily life. The sleek design and natural colors blend perfectly into a wild environment, in harmony with the landscape.

Practical, easy to store, and easy to transport, each piece is stackable, like camping mess kits. The stainless steel is thin and lightweight, yet strong and rust-resistant.

The originality of Kinto's design lies in its multi-functionality, thanks to the slot created on the side, which allows each piece to be used with a removable handle to turn it into a cooking utensil: FORIS is not just a plate, a bowl, or a cup; it is a frying pan, a saucepan, a lid, or a baking dish. The slot also allows the tableware to be hung from hooks for easy drying. Unlike conventional enameled tableware with curled rims, the thin, straight-edged design prevents water from pooling, which speeds up drying.

Properties of FORIS enamel:

• Stainless steel base: it does not rust
• Highly durable, stackable, and lightweight pieces
• Stain and odor resistant
• Suitable for direct heat, gas or electric, oven, and wood fire
• Dishwasher safe
• CAUTION: do not use in the microwave

JIN KURAMOTO

To imagine this collection, Kinto called upon Jin Kuramoto, an industrial designer passionate about the outdoors and an experienced fisherman. Renowned for giving distinct form to concepts and project stories, he contributed numerous ideas from his personal experience, such as the slots in the bowl to facilitate drying and the handle attachment to transform them into cooking utensils.

Jin is a director of the Japan Creative Association and vice-chairman of the Good Design Award screening committee.

KINTO

Kinto was founded in 1979 in Hikone, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, in a rural landscape with no nearby train station or main road.

It is here that designers create simple, beautiful, and functional objects: a Japanese philosophy designed for everyday life.

Since 2023, the KINTO FARM has been in operation, a farm built from scratch on raw land, an exploration field for a lifestyle connected to nature, the seasons, and the community.

KINTO promotes a sustainable lifestyle, creating designs that adapt to all ways of life—sedentary or nomadic, indoor or outdoor—designs that accompany you everywhere, at any time of the day.
