Tokyo based Japanese designer Makoto Koizumi has created this beautifully simple and award-winning cookware series - Kaico. The series includes a tea pot, coffee pot, pasta pot with a steel strainer insert, as well as various sauce pans.

Created in white enamel coated steel with maple wood handles, the Kaico series certainly has a classic yet rudimentary aesthetic to its pieces, as well as being durable and thermal-efficient. Because of the smooth, semi-gloss finish, the cookware is also easy to clean.

These would undoubtedly be a welcome addition to my kitchen from a visual perspective, but I'd be interested to know if anyone has previously bought any pieces from the Kaico series and what their thoughts are.
