The 1.5-quart pot is designed for meals which are served straight from the cooking pot. Drawing from the Japanese terms wabi-sabi (an aesthetic philosophy built on the concepts of simplicity, roughness, and naturalness) and nabemono (one-pot cooking), Wabi Nabe is meant to travel between stove, oven, fire and table with ease. 

In the spirit of wabi-sabi, the cast-iron handles are based on the naturally-occurring forms of charred wood, found at the sites of recent California wildfires. The matching trivet rests within a circular track along the bottom of the pot. Though fit to the Wabi Nabe, it is also meant to be used with other dishes.
