Iwatemo's VK kettle combines contemporary Finnish design and Japanese handcraft traditions in a fascinating way. Designed by Finnish Ville Kokkonen, the cast iron kettle is handmade in the Iwate prefecture in Japan. Ironware has been manufactured in the area since the Edo era, which lasted from the 16th to the 19th century and is often referred to as Nambu Tekki. Each step in manufacturing the iron kettles, from the making of the moulds to attaching the handle, requires advanced skills and meticulous work. The VK kettle is a stylish utility item that will last from generation to generation, both for its material and beautiful design language.

”I’m crazy for the Finnish Design Shop, and all that I’ve bought from them. And when questions arose (regarding a bookshelf that needed clever assembly), their representatives in Finland were so helpful and thoughtful.”

”Very good service. Unfortunately some plates were broken. Finnish design shop quickly responds and sends us new ones. That’s how service should be.”

”I ordered a HAY side table that was on back order everywhere else. It was a few hundred crowns more at Finnish Design Shop, but shipped the next day and was delivered to my door two days later, which I think was worth the extra cost. It came well-packaged, protected and the item is in perfect condition. I’m happy and would shop here again.”
Natasha B.
”We purchased a Hay Snowden Kettle from the Finnish Design Shop - unfortunately there was a fault with the Kettle but this was professionally and quickly dealt with by the Olli on the After Sales team, so we can recommend them for their great customer service and after-sales experience.”
