Zarucolander Colander / Basket

290€

In stock

Zarucolander is a collapsible colander, designed by designer Rio Kobayashi. The strainer slats, crafted from walnut, were steam bent and then secured with red and black colored ball screws. As the colander is collapsible, you just have to turn the balls to loosen the screws and thus unfold it. Once the screws are tightened, the strainer will stay in the desired shape.

Despite its common name, the designer wants to keep the possibilities open for this object. There are no specific instructions, and each user is free to interpret it in their own way. It can also be used as a picking basket or fruit basket.

How to use it:

1_Position the closed object in front of you and slightly loosen the two black and red spheres

2_If you want to create a handle, mount the inner slat while keeping the others closed

3_ Open the rest of the object like a fan, strip by strip. You can reposition the handle if necessary

4_Once the object is open as desired, tighten the screws using the two black and red spheres.

Steam bending is a technique for deforming a piece of wood to give it a curved shape, having been used to make the ZARUCOLANDER.

“It is important to feel good in your kitchen to enjoy spending time there and cooking for others. For me, this also involves acquiring effective and aesthetic utensils, just like in a carpentry workshop! » Rio Kobayashi
