FORIS MUG - 360 ML - SAND BEIGE - KINTO
Japanese enameled stainless steel mug, stackable, 360ml capacity.
FORIS is functional beauty. A collection of enameled stainless steel tableware designed for camping, barbecues, and outdoor life, as well as for home and everyday use. The clean design and natural colors blend perfectly into a wild environment, in harmony with the landscape.
Practical, easy to store and transport, each piece stacks like a camping mess kit. The stainless steel is thin and lightweight, yet sturdy 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 detachable handle to turn it into a cooking utensil: FORIS is not just a plate, bowl, or mug, 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 traditional enameled tableware with curved edges, the thin, straight-edged design prevents water from pooling, which speeds up drying.
FORIS enamel properties:
- Stainless steel base: it does not rust
- Very sturdy, durable, and lightweight stackable pieces
- Stain and odor resistant
- Suitable for direct heat, gas or electric, oven, wood fire
- Dishwasher safe
- CAUTION: do not microwave
JIN KURAMOTO
To envision this collection, Kinto enlisted Jin Kuramoto, an industrial designer passionate about the outdoors and an experienced fisherman. Renowned for giving project concepts and stories a distinct form, he contributed numerous ideas derived from his personal experience, such as the slots in the bowl to facilitate drying and the attachment of the handle 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.
