You take a hot frying pan off the hob and suddenly realise you do not really have anywhere to put it. Then comes the quick search for a chopping board, a plate or anything else that happens to be within reach. The Escher Round Cork Trivet solves this common problem. And you can keep it on the worktop all the time, because natural cork looks good and does not need to be put away after every use.
Natural Cork
For Hot Dishes
Protects Worktops
Always Within Reach
Easy To Store
Practical And Decorative
You can place it under a hot saucepan or frying pan. It protects your worktop and tablecloth from heat and marks left by cookware. The trivet can stay on the table all the time, not just when you are using it. Natural cork looks good and works well with a table setting.
When you do not need it, you can simply hang it up using the hole near the edge. That way, it does not have to take up space in a drawer or cupboard.

It is 19 cm in diameter and 1 cm thick.
The most useful things in the kitchen are the ones you do not have to spend time looking for. Holding a hot saucepan is not the best moment to start searching through drawers and working out what to put it on. The Escher Cork Trivet can simply stay on the worktop – it protects the surface from hot cookware and, at the same time, does not look like just another random kitchen gadget.

It is useful to have a trivet like this always within reach. You take a frying pan off the hob, want to put a saucepan down for a moment, or are preparing several things at once. And you immediately have somewhere to place hot cookware, without having to search through a drawer.
Escher can simply stay on the worktop and wait until you need it. The cork means it does not look like a purely practical kitchen gadget that you want to put away as soon as you are finished with it. It has a calm, natural look, so it can work both as a practical accessory and as part of your kitchen decor.
Cork is closely associated with Portugal – and not without reason, as it is often referred to as the country’s “gold”. Harvesting cork oak bark has a long tradition there and is a skill that has to be learned. The trees are not cut down during harvesting. Only the outer layer of bark is removed, carefully and in a way that does not damage the trunk. It takes knowledge and a good feel for the process, because the aim is not to do it as quickly as possible, but to do it properly.
Later, that same cork ends up in everyday items – such as a trivet for the table. And that is one of the best things about it: it is practical, looks good, and is used every day, while the tree did not have to be cut down to obtain it.
