FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Akira Kikuchi's Nambu Ironware Swallow Pot is a response to the changing needs of modern families. Inspired by the sudden shift in lifestyle brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Swallow Pot aims to bring the traditional Nambu Tetsubin to a new stage, aligning it with the preferences of younger generations with modern lifestyles. The design addresses the limitations of traditional Tetsubin, offering a smaller, more user-friendly alternative suitable for today's dining and living environments.
Reimagining the 1980s Tetsubin, the Swallow Pot integrates modern functionality and design features, breaking the archaic impression of traditional Nambu ironware. Its unique square shape and reduced size make it more suitable for smaller families, while the Kamayaki method ensures rust prevention without compromising the iron's health benefits. The Swallow Pot's innovative design and functionality make it a standout addition to modern kitchens.
Recognized with the Silver A' Design Award, the Nambu Ironware Swallow Pot represents a harmonious blend of tradition and innovation, offering a compelling solution for today's lifestyle needs.
