BASIC Butter Keeper by Nina Thöming for blomus

BASIC Butter Keeper by Nina Thöming for blomus — A lidded brushed stainless-steel butter dish whose double-insulated base helps keep butter cool at the table.

Part of BASIC, the brushed stainless-steel serving series by Nina Thöming for the German design house blomus.

The Design Story

Thöming gave the butter dish a double base, a small engineering detail hidden inside a plain steel box. Thöming, an industrial designer at Germany’s Flöz Design, kept BASIC deliberately plain so the pieces mix with any tableware you already own.

Brushed steel, straight lines and nothing extra: BASIC is the quiet backbone of a well-set breakfast table.

Why You’ll Love It

Spreadable butter, covered and cool, in a dish clean enough to leave on the table.

Made for Real Life

Wash the lid and base in warm, soapy water and dry them well. blomus does not list this piece as dishwasher safe, so our advice is to wash it by hand. Stainless steel does not take on flavors or odors, so the same piece moves from butter to jam to nuts without a second thought. Pairs well with the BASIC creamer, BASIC sugar bowl and BASIC steel tray.

Why We Love It

BASIC turns everyday breakfast and cocktail-hour snacks into a small, orderly ritual. From a small town in Germany’s old steel region, the Blome family has gone from bicycle parts (1921) to metal gifts (1961) to the design label blomus (2000), still family-run in its fourth generation. LoftModern is an authorized blomus retailer.
