Surahi : Inspired From Tradition, Built For Freshness

Surahi is a natural, non-electric solution to keep produce fresh and healthy. This 300mm x 300mm terracotta product is designed for Indian households and doubles as a stand for a Matka. Using the traditional Zeer pot mechanism, it provides efficient cooling. The outer revolving cork door protects produce from foreign particles and is resistant to mould and fungi. The earthenware design reflects cultural heritage while promoting sustainability. Simple, functional, and eco-friendly, Surahi is crafted to preserve freshness naturally.
