Sarpaneva

Deze ultieme designklassieker van gietijzer met een houten handgreep is net zo functioneel in de keuken als mooi op tafel. De Sarpaneva pan werd in 1960 ontworpen door Timo Sarpaneva en hij won er dat jaar een zilveren medaille voor op de Triënnale van Milaan. Sarpaneva werd geïnspireerd door zijn grootvader, die smid was. Hij combineerde functioneel design met een traditionele gietijzeren pot. De Sarpaneva gietijzeren pannen kunnen worden gebruikt op het fornuis en in de oven. Dankzij de afwerking met email blijven geurtjes niet in de pan achter.
