Certain foods are best served directly from the pot or pan (shakshuka, skillet cornbread, and soup all come to mind), but there's always the conundrum of how to properly lay cookware on a table without damaging it. Enter this ceramic trivet. It may look like a beautiful decorative object, but it's functional, too - intended to protect your beautiful surfaces from the blazing heat of fresh-off-the-stove pots and pans.

The Merge Trivet is a result of subtle alchemy between water, earth and fire. Handmade in Italy using the finest clay from the River Po, this ceramic tile has a unique, marbled surface that is achieved through a special handcrafting process, and no two tiles are the same. Both decorative and functional, the Merge Trivet will protect your dinner table from hot pans and pots – whether you’re dining indoors or alfresco.
