Timo Sarpaneva (1926-2006) is one of Finland's most famous post-war designers. Exhibited internationally, his works have received numerous awards. In 1960, he created a cast iron casserole whose wooden handle was inspired by Japanese models. Rewarded the same year with a silver medal at the Milan Triennale, the Sarapaneva casserole has become a true cult object of Scandinavian design, commemorated in 1998 by a Finnish postage stamp. So simple, so beautiful, the Sarpaneva casserole is used both to prepare and present dishes on the table. Its removable wooden handle is a genius idea: it makes it easy to lift the entire casserole up to the table or just the hot lid without burning your fingers. Of exceptional quality, this casserole offers incomparable cooking quality and is suitable for all types of heat sources (gas, electric hob, ceramic hob, induction). Cast iron ensures slow, even cooking both on the stovetop and in the oven, making it ideal for any hearty meal: stews, simmered bolognese sauce or even a whole roast chicken. The interior enamel surface guarantees easy cleaning and prevents food flavours from sticking to the casserole, so no flavour lingers. This award-winning stockpot with its sleek look is the ideal kitchen utensil for foodies and lovers of beautiful objects.
