kumpu
A sculptural cast iron trivet you can leave on the table.
Designed by Mika & Julie Tolvanen.  The word ‘kumpu’ means mound in Finnish.  KUMPU's mounds gently rise from the table's surface, elevating your cookware, protecting your table from heat, dents, and scratches.  
Made in Sweden.

• Recycled Iron, about 95% from Lyrestad's local scrap dealer

• Organic Vegetable Oil ,KRAV certified, picked & produced near the foundry

• Natural Cork pads

Size. Ø200 x 15mm (Ø5-3/4” x 1-1/2”)

Heat seasoning. Heat seasoned with the same non-toxic method that is used on cast iron cookware, KUMPU can be re-seasoned and passed down for generations. To renew the surface, simply rub the trivet with a thin, even coat of vegetable oil. Cover a baking pan with a sheet of baking paper, and place the trivet face up on the pan with cork pads resting on the paper. To protect the cork pads, oven temperature should not exceed 325 F (163C).

Cork pads. Cork pads are affixed to the bottom to prevent scratching.

A unique sand mold is made for each trivet, shaped by hand at the foundry. After each use, the sand is saved and reused to cast the next piece. Produced in Lyretad, Sweden at a family-owned foundry started in the 1950s.  The founder’s grandson is a third generation iron caster.
