Kumpu Cast Iron Trivet

Davide Carbone — Fri, 13 Jun 2025 07:51:45 +0000

Kumpu lands on the table like a slice of ancient terrain—twenty gentle hills rising across a dark, cast iron trivet large enough to cradle Dutch ovens and family-sized skillets. Studio Tolvanen began with the Finnish word for “mound,” then asked a third-generation foundry in Lyrestad to pour that idea in metal. Each piece is born from its own sand mould—hand-shaped, poured once, then broken so the next landscape can form from the same reclaimed grains.

Made of 95 % locally recycled iron, the disk is seasoned with organic vegetable oil until it gleams like well-loved cookware. Set a scalding pot on it straight from the stove; if the finish ever fades, brush on fresh oil and bake it back to life. Three cork pads keep the weighty surface steady and spare your tabletop. Heavy enough to feel permanent, spare enough to leave out between meals—Kumpu is Nordic geology tamed for everyday service, the cast iron trivet large that turns heat into a tabletop moment.

The Kuppi wall light, drawing its name from the Finnish word for ‘cup,’ is a testament to thoughtful design evolution, maintaining the essence of its original 2014 design while embracing contemporary refinements. This lamp is characterized by its use of two metal cups of differing sizes, coming together to form a piece that is both minimalistic and sculptural. The design of Kuppi is not just about aesthetics; it’s about functionality and adaptability.
Kuppi’s construction is ingeniously designed to allow easy movement and adjustment, making it a perfect lighting solution for specific needs. Whether it’s casting a focused light by a bedside or illuminating a cozy reading nook, this lamp offers both practicality and style. Its ability to direct light precisely where needed makes Kuppi an ideal choice for personal spaces where functionality is as important as design.
