Nambu Ironware, Iron pot, LABO2

Presenting the LABO2—an embodiment of family-sized convenience, boasting a 1.3-liter capacity ideal for households of 2 to 3 individuals. Its counterpart, LABO, stands at 0.7 liters, tailored to accommodate 1 to 2 people.

A novel proposition for a size that resonates with your needs

The evolution of contemporary households has ushered in a notable reduction in occupancy. With single-person households and nuclear families becoming increasingly prevalent, the dimensions of traditional iron pots appear excessive.

Taking into consideration the contemporary emphasis on weight and maneuverability, the 1.3-liter LABO2 emerges as an optimum solution—neither overly spacious nor excessively compact. Its design is impeccably suited for couples or families with young children.

Distinguishing Features of LABO2:

• A modern contour infused with the essence of traditional Japanese iron pots
• The design finds its inspiration in the Japanese cray pot, ingeniously curbing the likelihood of spillage

In contrast to the conventional linear design of international pots and pans, which might hinder certain tasks such as oil mixing and food extraction using utensils, LABO2 embraces a rounded base. This curvature draws inspiration from the silhouette of time-honored Japanese iron pots, deeply rooted in the nation's history. Oitomi's design philosophy of harmonizing "和洋折衷" (the fusion of Japanese and Western styles) and embracing "温故知新" (learning from the past to uncover the new) finds expression here.

Meticulously Engineered Spillage Prevention

Akin to the form of a Japanese clay pot, the lid has been ingeniously devised to deter spillage. It features a back-protrusion allowing steam to cascade into the pot in the form of minute water droplets, rendering it amenable to waterless cooking.

The Enigma of the Iron Lid

Steam elegantly cascades from the rear protrusions of the lid, materializing as delicate water droplets. The inherent weight of the iron lid counteracts any inclination to lift, effectively curtailing the likelihood of spillage. The strategic placement of steam holes further contributes to the spillage-resistant design.
