The pursuit of a light and essential form, made ethereal by the transparency of glass, meets knIndustrie’s vision to craft a project that reflects simple daily gestures and conviviality. At the heart of the table stands the oil cruet designed by Paolo Ulian, of iconic design, now reimagined in a new version.

First conceived in the early 2000s, the cruet embodies a perfect balance between purpose and poetry, craftsmanship and design vision. Today, more than twenty years later, knIndustrie presents a re-edition that remains true to its original essence, ready to encounter new hands, new tables, new stories.

In a world of everyday objects, kitchen tools, and tableware, the oil cruet stands out as a design gesture that withstands time, blending practicality and aesthetic identity with striking modernity. Transparency, lightness, and simplicity tell a story that goes beyond the material: a conscious choice of continuity and care, giving new life to what deserves to endure.

Crafted in borosilicate glass with a hollow handle that reveals the oil inside, the cruet can also be used as a vinegar bottle and integrates seamlessly into knIndustrie’s “The Salad Family” set: a “ménage” that also includes borosilicate glass cheese bowls with stone-washed steel lids in a minimalist design, as well as the salt and pepper set, made of two transparent mini cups. These pieces are multifunctional and can easily double as small containers for vinegar, sauces, or honey when the occasion calls for it. Rounding out the set is the fine bone china salad bowl, perfectly harmonizing with the transparency of the other utensils. With its candour and soft shape, it’s ideal for serving and sharing a wide variety of dishes, not just summer ones.

With autumn’s arrival, the set lends itself beautifully to a tasting of pumpkin prepared in different ways—roasted, steamed, or as crispy slivers— accompanied by an essential drizzle of oil and other condiments presented in the sleek glass containers, in the unmistakable knIndustrie’s style.

The Salad Family thus becomes the perfect tool to express an essential, seasonal, and mindful cuisine: a culinary design exercise that values every part of the vegetable, reduces waste, and celebrates the beauty of simple gestures. An ode to autumn, with warm colors, varied textures, and deep attention to raw ingredients.

Refined and versatile, the set is also suited to shine on holiday tables: the perfect gift for the upcoming celebrations.
