Expanding Pot Holders

The 'Sunflower' Project Keeps Your Counters Safe

The 'Sunflower' project by Sunny Chung for Toast Living is a neat little gadget that aims to keep your counters free of burn marks -- all while doing it with style.

The 'Sunflower' project resembles that of a flower once unfurled and it will safely hold hot pots and pans. When it is time to store, simply allow the kitchen gadget to go back to its regular, coaster-sized shape and perhaps even rest your coffee cup on it.
