Nest Homeware Maker Matt Cavallaro wanted to bring the time-tested material of cast iron into modern kitchens. A graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, Matt developed a lighter, more decorative form of heavy duty cookware first used in ancient China. His mission is to make heirloom-quality cookware that will anchor the kitchen for years to come. Lighter and more ergonomic than some other cast iron cookware, this fresh take has handles designed for right and left grips. And unlike typical black cast iron, double seasoning with flaxseed oil gives these pots a bronze look. The naturally non-stick coating guards against rust, too.
