Cheerful stash for treats
The hand-painted Sobremesa Stripe cookie jar keeps baked goods fresh and looks irresistible! Designed by Laila Gohar for HAY, the Sobremesa collection celebrates dining as an experience that begins with carefully selecting the ingredients and preparing the food, continues with having the meal with family or friends and ends with sobremesa, a Spanish tradition of relaxing at the table after the meal, enjoying the atmosphere and life.

The Uunikokki series is an icon of Finnish ceramic design.
Joy from the oven
Arabia’s Uunikokki pie dish is a Finnish classic that delights baking enthusiasts with both its excellent baking qualities and minimalist, timeless design. The dish, designed by Tapio Yli-Viikari in the late 1970s, is made of high-quality vitro porcelain that is also suitable for high temperatures. Thanks to the ribbed surface, heat is distributed evenly all the way to the center of the dish.

The timer beeps when the food is ready.
Always on time
The timer by Heirol, a Finnish family company, helps the baker make sure that the cookies or pastries don’t burn in the oven. The display of the handy, easy-to-use timer clearly shows the remaining time, and thanks to the magnet, you can fasten the timer on the oven or fridge, for example.
