Stainless Steel Strainer

Produced in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, an area of Japan known for its high-quality metalware production, this strainer was designed by Yanagi Sōri (1915-2011), one of Japan’s most influential industrial designers. Demonstrating the acclaimed characteristics of his design approach, this strainer is simple and elegant in appearance, focusing on functionality and efficiency in all details. The holes are punch pressed into the strainer and designed to have less contact surface producing optimal drainage. Made of stainless steel, it is both durable and easy to clean and the smooth rim of the holes reduces the risk of items becoming lodged in them.

Dishwasher safe.

The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
