Eld Trivet M — Color Accent

A sedge trivet with hand-dyed color accents

Sedge is a material we rarely encounter in everyday life.
You may recognize the familiar woven hats, but they are something you rarely come across unless you seek them out.
In Fukae, Osaka, artisans continue working with sedge to keep this traditional craft alive.
Each POTPURRI Eld trivet is woven by hand by an artisan in Fukae.

The thin trivet we wanted when developing our skillet

As the Eld skillet neared completion, we began looking for a trivet to pair with it. There were many attractive options in straw, wood, and cork, but we kept finding ourselves drawn to woven materials.
We could not find a woven trivet thin enough to hold a skillet steadily—let alone in four sizes. That was when we discovered sedge weaving. The woven edge adds an accent, and although the material is Japanese, the design somehow recalls Scandinavian birch-bark crafts.

Of course, it was designed and developed to fit our skillets, so that is the use we recommend most!
That said, with four sizes available, these trivets suit a remarkably wide range of items, from kettles to cooking pots.
Its thin design is particularly well suited to pots, helping keep them stable.

Dyed colors and careful weaving

Eld trivets come in four sizes and four colors. The versions shown here feature gray-black and green accents chosen to complement the skillets. The simple solid-color versions are also recommended: Plain is natural ecru, while Grass is young-grass green. Please note that Grass will not turn into the Plain color with use.
