Practical and beautiful: Edo pots
This long-handled saucepan is ideal for preparing sauces and dressings. In the Edo series this pot comprises a series of small, but substantial, functional details, such as the shape of the handle that offers good grip, restricts heat transmission and can also accommodate the spoon used for cooking.
Designed by Patricia Urquiola, Edo pots blend different cultural references and formal suggestions. A richness of references that evokes the very essence of cooking: diverse ingredients creating delicious dishes. Edo refers to the Latin "edere" - that is "to eat" - but it is also the ancient name of Tokyo, where the pots with simple and graceful lines that inspired the designer come from. The design of the Edo series is softened by formal elements such as the light flare of the containers or the line of the handles reminiscent of ribbons pinned to a dress, which becomes a distinctive feature of the entire the entire cookware line.
