The method of steaming food was invented during the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago. Legend has it that General Han Xin made cooking utensils from bamboo and wood to cook food with steam. Through history, steaming has evolved to be one of the most iconic and essential cooking techniques in the Chinese culinary lexicon.
The steamer basket replaces the traditional bamboo base with terracotta. This natural material has efficient liquid absorbing characteristics, meaning it can absorb any excess moisture generated during steaming, ensuring that the food is perfectly moist.
The steamer pot and lid are made from fireproof ceramic, which has excellent heat resistance compared to regular stoneware, making it less likely to crack at higher temperatures. The JIA steamer pot can be used on open flame gas stoves and in both conventional and microwave ovens.

The legend has it that in Chinese mythology Nuwa is the guardian of Heaven and Earth, hand-crafted mankind from clay. She repaired the pillars of heaven and forged 36501 pieces of mystic stones to patch up the azure sky in order to save human lives. And the “JIA Aroma Aureole Cold Air Diffuser” is derived from this beautiful ancient fable. The essential oil is extracted from the plants that grow on the planet and disperses all-natural aroma that flows all around and lingers between heaven and earth.

Tea tasting is a prestigious pastime of the elites. It settles the mind and tends to the health of body and soul. In ancient China outdoor tea tasting was a common social event since the Song and Ming Dynasty. Inspired by the western style picnic basket the Tea Box is designed for ample storage as well as easy-to-carry.
The art of tea ceremony is like graceful dance choreography. As the Tea Box unfolds and transforms into a platform. Teaware is delicately arranged on top just like dancers move elegantly on stage. The spirit of tea ceremony is so exquisite and in depth that brings us back in time with every sip of tea.

A truly authentic wok designed for use in the modern home.
Authenticity is the keyword for the Wok and Utensils designed by Office for Product Design. Carbon steel, stainless steel and natural magnolia wood are beautifully crafted together in harmony. Carbon steel is a material long used for making woks. It is strong, durable and conducts heat quickly and evenly. No artificial coating is used, meaning it can be seasoned to create a natural non-stick coating.
Magnolia grows slowly and gives a wood characterized for its strength, density and hardness. The designer chose it to go with carbon steel to form this unpretentious, highly functional wok design. The Wok and utensils invites you to try out creative Chinese home cuisine and makes a pleasing focal point when presented on the table.
Materials:Carbon steel, Magnolia wood, 18/10 Stainless Steel

“滿”,meaning “abundance”, is a happy word in Chinese culture. It is often written in calligraphy on a piece of red paper and stuck outside of rice containers in the beginning of a new year to wish for a good year. While one of the key Chinese philosophies describes that the earth is square and the heaven is round to manifest the stability and the mobility, the yin and yang, designer Kate takes the line and uses terra cotta and silicone lid to translate the thinking into modern airtight canisters with a touch of Zen. Also, with a whisk of imagination, you can turn them into a sleek vase.

The JIA Steamer with terracotta steamer basket can steam and boil at the same time. Save time and space. The casserole also works perfectly as a simple stew pot.
The method of steaming food was invented during the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago. Legend has it that General Han Xin made cooking utensils from bamboo and wood to cook food with steam. Through history, steaming has evolved to be one of the most iconic and essential cooking techniques in the Chinese culinary lexicon.
The steamer pot and lid are made from fireproof ceramic, which has excellent heat resistance compared to regular stoneware, making it less likely to crack at higher temperatures. The JIA steamer pot can be used on open flame gas stoves and in both conventional and microwave ovens.
