The Toru toaster emphasizes Nendo’s ability to reduce objects down to their fundamentals. In Japanese, “Toru” means “through”, and with this toaster, the collection’s distinguishing feature – a black element that appears to pass through the body of the objects – becomes a pair of handles that resolve a functional necessity using inventive shapes. Toaster made of polished 18/10 stainless steel with handles made of thermoplastic resin. Equipped with an operating control lamp; a browning adjustment knob; a lifting lever; eject, defrost, and bagel buttons; and a crumb tray. Sold separately: Two accessories that enhance the toaster’s functionality: Two toaster racks and a brioche warmer.
