Palma Cast-Iron Spice Stand by Jasper Morrison for Oigen — a cast-iron palm tree that carries your spices to the table.
Designed by Jasper Morrison; cast by Oigen in Iwate since 1852.
The Design Story
Iron has been cast in Iwate for centuries, and Oigen has been doing it since 1852. Its Palma series began after the 2011 earthquake, when the foundry joined the Japan Creative project and met British designer Jasper Morrison; the collection made its debut in Milan in 2012. Morrison is the British designer behind “super normal”, the idea that the best objects are the ones that quietly work.
Why You’ll Love It
Palma brings together two unlikely ideas, the swaying palm of the tropics and the rugged iron of snowy Iwate, and makes them feel inevitable. Morrison drew it after a lunch in Iwate where spices arrived in three small dishes. The trunk and dishes are sand-cast separately and fit together so the tree stands perfectly upright, and two fingers under the fronds are all you need to lift it.
Made for Real Life
Wash it by hand with hot water, skip the soaking, and dry it fully, best on a warm stove. A little rust brushes away.
