“Snow Mountain“ Pour-Over Coffee Kettle

In the realm of handcrafted metalwork, domestic options for coffee pots remain scarce. The Snow Mountain Pot was designed after the Capsule Pot. Concerned that the Capsule Pot's more radical and distinctive design might appeal only to a niche audience, the decision arose to craft a more familiar form with a narrower top and wider base. Two pieces of ebony wood encase the metal for insulation, while rattan is incorporated purely to isolate heat conduction from the rivets. The design adheres to principles of: honest tactile quality, unadorned materials, and forms rooted in daily life. This approach balances functionality with minimalist aesthetics. The ebony not only serves a practical purpose but also provides a warm, organic contrast to the metallic body, while the woven rattan handle offers both tactile comfort and visual texture. By eschewing unnecessary ornamentation and prioritizing essential materials and forms, the Snow Mountain Pot embodies a "truthful design" philosophy that aligns with contemporary values of craftsmanship and utility.
