-
Counters stay unmarked: the round base spreads the load of a heavy pot without marking glass, marble or wood
-
One size, teacup to hot pot: it expands to 7.8 inches, wide enough for a small teacup or a large hot pot

Nothing sharp to catch: every edge is rounded, carved and polished by hand
-
Stores flat between meals: it folds down and slides into a kitchen drawer
A hot dish needs somewhere to go, and this wooden trivet is ready before you are: set it on the counter and gravity does the work, the blocks unfolding on their own to 7.8 inches (19.8 cm). It takes everything from a small teacup to a large hot pot, every edge is rounded so nothing sharp catches when you lift it, and a rinse under water is all the cleaning it needs. It is designed for glass, marble and wooden countertops, and the round base keeps cookware steady.

Shaped like a tree, it is made of six interconnected blocks with an elastic mechanism through the joints, so they open and fold smoothly in both directions. The solid wood is cut in one piece with no splicing, then handcrafted, carved and polished with no adhesives or artificial materials. Use it as a trivet for hot pots and pans in a kitchen, at a dining table, in a living room or in a restaurant service area; as an expandable kitchen pot stand it folds flat afterwards, and the tree shape gives it a festive look on a Christmas table.
