LONGPI COLLECTION
Karipot Small Longpi Cookware
The Karipot can be pre-ordered here. This unique product is made in small batches, and as a result lead time is approx. 8-10 weeks.
The pot can be used widely on a range of heat sources, from the hob – both gas and electric – to the oven. The collection celebrates oven to table style eating, and is perfect for one-pot dishes. Ideal for slow cooking, but also for everyday meals.
The natural properties of the materials – stone and clay enhance the cooking experience, while preserving the ingredients’ oils and flavours. The burnishing process makes the cooking surface naturally non-stick. Once cooked, the pot also stays warmer for longer when on the table.
At each stage of the manufacturing process, we have created interventions that highlight the handmade aspect, while reducing the production time for the artisans. For example, introducing 3D printed moulds has allowed for greater detailing, sharper lines and precise forms. The contoured underside of the lid allows for excellent moisture retention and self-basting properties.
Best hand washed with a hard brush.

Water Tower 1 Mini-Planter
As we started creating typologies of the water towers we came across in India, we found no two to be the same. Our response was to come up with three styles – which we called Watertower 1, 2 and 3 – that broadly reflected the forms or functions of the structures we came across most frequently. The functional and architectural features of these towers, such as the ladders, windows and stairs, have been turned into miniaturised decorative elements. Each design was 3D-printed, the moulds made out of silicone and the pieces cast in concrete.

Flyover Vase Vase
Flyover vase was inspired by one of the many flyover pillars and other pieces of concrete infrastructure in Bangalore that have dominated the city’s landscape since the late 90s. We miniaturised the functional and architectural features of these structures, in this case the geometric ridges found on its sides, rendering them as decorative patterns and tactile elements. Each design was 3D-printed, moulds were then made out of silicone and the pieces were cast in concrete. Our Flyover Vase won a Wallpaper Design Award in 2019.

Sama tray
SAMA, which in Sanskrit means ‘circle’, is the name we have given to our range of nesting trays. Each piece is deep drawn – or pressed – from a 1mm sheet of brass or copper. The trays have a nice weight about them and are available in three sizes that sit within each other for easy storage. They have been lacquered so won’t change in appearance over time.

Loha Copper Bowl and Lid
LOHA, which in Sanskrit broadly translates as ‘of iron’, is a bowl and lid set spun from copper sheets. Inspired by the typical Indian stainless steel bowls with lids that double up as plates, our version is finished with natural beeswax and totally food-safe. We recommend using it as a serving or baking bowl as acidic foods or curries will curdle if left in the bowl too long. Loha will develop a rich dark patina* over time.
* This process can be reversed naturally with the help of a slice of lemon and some salt. Cut a lemon in half, add salt to the cut side and rub the item gently.
Seva Wooden Bowls and Platter Set
SEVA, which in Sanskrit means ‘to serve’, is a set of wooden bowls featuring a circular lid that doubles up as a tray or platter. Made out of Sheesham, an indigenous and sustainably-sourced Indian hardwood, SEVA is hand-turned on a lathe. Our starting point for this design was the Indian ‘masala dabba’ or Indian spice box. Use the three small bowls, large bowl and circular tray separately or together as a set. Each item is finished with natural beeswax and food-safe.
Chakra Trivets
CHAKRA, which in Sanskrit means wheel, is inspired by the stands used inside pressure cookers in India to raise vessels off the base and allow for even cooking. The Chakra trivet is spun out of copper or brass in five stages and comes as a set of three nesting pieces. We love this product’s ‘v’-profile, but also how little material it uses. It was designed so that any material left over from the spinning process could be used to make our AYASA jars.
Sold as a set of three, in brass or copper. They can be used a variety of ways to hold large and smaller dishes by either nesting or separating them.

Dakshin Scented Soy Candle
We created a pair of fragrances called ‘Uttara’ and ‘Dakshin’ that translates from Kannada as ‘north’ and ‘south’. The inspiration behind these fragrances was capturing the strong contrasts that exist across India in terms of landscape, food, culture and much more. Dakshin represents a metaphorical ‘south’ and has a musky and deep scent, with notes of patchouli, oakmoss and tar. The Dakshin candle is set in a black anodized spun metal container with a grey soapstone stone lid.
Uttara Scented Soy Candle
We created a pair of fragrances called ‘Uttara’ and ‘Dakshin’ that translates from Kannada as ‘north’ and ‘south’. The inspiration behind these fragrances was capturing the strong contrasts that exist across India in terms of landscape, food, culture and social mores. Uttara represents a metaphorical ‘north’ and we made it fresh, light and citrusy, with notes of assam tea, pomelo and amber. The Uttara candle is set in a gold anodized spun metal container with an alabaster stone lid.
Diya Cast Brass Candleholders
‘Diya’ is our tribute to the small palm-sized terracotta oil lamps you can find all over India, but it also references the heaviness and elegance of South Indian brass oil lamps. These stackable candle-holders are made out of brass using a sand casting process and feel pleasingly heavy and smooth to the touch. Sold as a set of two. Flip the piece to use it a tea-light holder.
Ball of Stone Stone Candleholder
Ball of Stone is a double-sided candle-holder for tea lights and candles. A simple sphere shape turned out of soapstone, it has an opening to hold a candle on one side and another one suitable for a tea-light on the other. This piece is roughly the size of a cricket ball. Use individually or pair with the Cone of Stone candleholder to create a playful geometrical scene.
