Description

A rice cooker is a “basic tool essential to everyday life.” Beyond cooking rice well, its functions focus on ease of use, and its design is intended to blend naturally into any interior. ZUTTO is a simple IH rice cooker that respects these fundamentals. Neither art nor an object, it is designed as a practical tool that fits any lifestyle and interior, allowing users to regard it as their household basic and continue using it with familiarity over time. The product was selected for the Good Design Award in 2004.
