Established in 1875, the Kaikado studios produce airtight boxes of tea in copper, brass and silver, which acquire a unique patina over time like trophies. Manufactured entirely by hand, these containers boast a simple shape that is far more complex than first meets the eye: every element must fit within a tenth of a millimetre. A recent collaboration with Danish design studio OeO allowed Kaikado to modernise its lines. And export them tenfold!
