KINTO

KINTO designs objects for drinking, and it changes everything. A glass teapot where you can watch the tea infuse, a double-walled tumbler that keeps coffee hot without burning your fingers, a mug with a thin rim. A Japanese company born in 1972 in the Shiga Prefecture, which views a drink as a moment in time, not just a hasty gulp.

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.
