KINTO

KINTO dessine des objets pour boire, et ça change tout. Une théière en verre où l'on voit le thé infuser, un tumbler à double paroi qui garde le café chaud sans brûler les doigts, un mug à la lèvre fine. Une maison japonaise née en 1972 dans la préfecture de Shiga, qui pense la boisson comme un moment, pas comme une gorgée prise à la va-vite.

Glass, to see and to serve

The UNITEA teapot, made of durable glass, shows the dance of the leaves and the rising color; you brew in full view and stop at the right moment. The matching cups, thin and clear, highlight the tea rather than hide it. That’s KINTO’s idea: objects that fade away before what they contain. See the tableware.

Keep hot, keep cold, take away

Double-walled tumblers and bottles maintain temperature for hours without condensation on the outside; coffee stays hot, water stays cold, and your hand feels nothing. Perfect for going from office to bag without giving up a real cup. See the tumblers and bottles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do KINTO tumblers really keep drinks hot for a long time?

Double-walled models insulate the drink for several hours, hot or cold, thanks to the air gap between the two walls. A nice bonus: the outside doesn’t heat up or sweat, so nothing wets your bag or burns your hand. The insulation duration is specified by model.

Are KINTO glass teapots sensitive to boiling water?

The glass of UNITEA teapots is designed for brewing and withstands the hot water of tea. Just avoid sudden thermal shocks, like pouring boiling water into a teapot taken from the cold. A lukewarm rinse before brewing is enough to prepare it.

Can KINTO glass be put in the dishwasher?

Depending on the items, some parts can be machine washed, others prefer hand washing, especially the stoppers and seals of insulated bottles. Gentle hand washing always preserves the glass and the finish’s shine over time. Details are provided for each product.

What is a KINTO aquaculture vase?

It is a small glass vase designed to grow a plant in water rather than soil. You can see the roots developing, making it both a living object and a decoration. Without soil or repotting, it is one of the simplest ways to have greenery at home.
