How lucky am I to have this in my new home town? I’d love this for my kitchen and dining table.

I love the the tiny fold in the bend of the oil bottle. It is this fine detail which elevates it to an elegant piece of art.
Always pointed in the right direction!
The retail space is gorgeous. No surprise it’s designed by Khai Lieu, one of my very favourite designers.
Just gorgeous- keeping my fingers crossed!
Love it Want it!
My mum’s new kitchen is crying out for one of these!

Great to see this great Adelaide spot being nationally showcased!
How funny, I went shopping for an oil bottle on the weekend but gave up thinking the bottle the oil comes in from the supermarket is a million times more attractive than anything I saw for sale. That was until I saw the kink oil bottle!! Amaze!
I would love one!! So cute, yet so functional
Super cool stuff!
It would take pride of place on my kitchen bench!
Do the cookies come in the jar too ?
