Alvar Aalto Collection Pot guard 

Design legend Alvar Aalto combined simple design with a craftsman’s expertise to create iconic home design pieces that are functional and sculptural. The pot guard with its signature Aalto waves shape brings both form and function to the kitchen. The handy wooden utensil keeps pot lids ajar, ensuring that food doesn’t get over-cooked. Its curved shape allows the pot guard to sit firmly between the pot and the lid. Made of birch wood, the pot guard is heat safe so fingers won’t get burned.
