terra.cotto by Stefania Vasques

Inspired by the tradition of cooking with terracotta, designer Stefania Vasques has devised a new line of cookware that makes the most of the material's gradual heat diffusion properties. Vasques' line is a modern vision of terracotta, whose slow, even cooking has come back in vogue. The five (now six) piece range's minimalist, geometric aesthetics mirror the hearty fare that it produces. Vasques has even compiled a cookbook of recipes inspired by the ethos to boot. Designed for Sambonet, the terra.cotto cookware collection is inspired by the popular tradition of cooking with terracotta and explores its gradual heat diffusion properties. Founded in 1856, Sambonet has been at the forefront of kitchenware innovation and design for decades. With this modern interpretation, the minimalist and geometric lines of the collection lend an innovative edge to a traditional material. Perfect for slow-cooking, sauces and casseroles, this collection of pots and pans lends a splash of colour to any interior.
