An elegantly crafted brass trivet inspired by celestial elements. A collaboration between designer Masanori Oji and Futagami, one of Japan’s oldest metal foundries, this piece will change over time creating a beautiful patina. This trivet is modeled after the sun, and the lines of ridges rise geometrically up to keep tables & counters safe from pots & kettles.

Dimensions 5.75” diameter .5”

Maker: Futagami

Designer: Masanori Oji

Handmade in Takoaka, Japan

Founded in 1879, FUTAGAMI is one of Japan's oldest foundries & is located in Takaoka, Japan.

Brass has long been used in various fields such as metal fittings for architecture, ships, and furniture as it has corrosion resistance property and moderate workability. It has a long history as a material for arts and crafts or Buddhist altar equipment as its texture is gentle with an elegant luster. Masanori Oji's work with Futagami won the 2009 Interior Lifestyle Award in Japan.
