The domed panoramic scale keeps the reading clear, and the pot keeps its full volume and shape. A hot safe indicator shows when the lid is too hot to touch. The pot is made from recycled iron by sand casting and CNC machining, then finished with baked enamel. A lid hanger and an integrated spoon rest are also included.

Nevi

Designed by Andrei LiLo, Nevi is a desk lamp built around a self centering kinetic system. Constructed from hand finished Aisi 304 stainless steel, the lamp features a spherical base and a slender vertical stem.

The project extends to its aluminum packaging, which is designed to transform into a secondary ambient light. Released as a numbered limited edition, Nevi explores the relationship between kinetic behavior and material presence.
