The 'Top & Down' pot and lid are the design work of Zhang Weiwei and feature a design that is dual-purpose in order to help increase the overall efficiency of the equipment aesthetic.
The design of the 'Top & Down' sees the lid portion utilized as a means of keeping the pot covered, but also as a piece of equipment to hold the pot above surfaces as a rest. This makes it a great piece of equipment for serving food that has been prepared as well as a way to protect tabletops from damage from hot pans.
The 'Top & Down' pot and lid is the winner of the Red Dot Design Award for 2016 and identify how kitchen equipment can be made more efficient without compromising on style.
