Elegant Simplicity: A New Line of Japanese Linens for the Kitchen and Elsewhere

July 24, 2026

Ask me what object in my kitchen brings me daily joy, and I’ll tell you: my set of practical yet delicate stacking glasses by Kinto in Japan.

Up until recently, Kinto has made stellar drinkware and tumblers—but now they’ve added a new offering to their collections: kitchen textiles and linens that are as elegant yet everyday as their glassware. I got a look at the new line, called Futo, at 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen; here are a few standouts from the collection, made from “substantial linen” and woven cotton cloth.
