Cast Iron Infinity Trivet

I am a Cast Iron Infinity Trivet. This is the trivet that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends.

Curator's Notes

This solid cast iron trivet has a rich, saturated surface texture. The rust color and traditional Japanese infinity motif gives it the feel of an antique object. The symbol is usually seen in Japan in the form of decorative cord that is made from twisted paper. The form implies “peaceful unity” or harmony in the home, which is reflective of Simplicity’s approach to design and a befitting choice for their official brand logo.
