Kinto

Kinto interprets Japanese traditions for the modern world, creating a minimalist range of drinkware and tableware to enjoy in everyday life. With a careful balance between usability and aesthetics, their designs focus on improving the process of making and enjoying food and drink. Kinto hope to make their products as easy to use as possible, ensuring they are always the ones you choose to reach for.

Many Kinto products are developed with ceremony and slowness in mind. Their designs are part of 'Kissaten' coffee shop culture; it's a style of making coffee where nothing is ever rushed. Cups are gently warmed, the grounds weighed precisely and hot water is slowly poured. In English language we call it 'slow coffee style'.
