Our Materials
Materials chosen for everyday rituals.
At Wood & Cast, we believe the materials surrounding us in the kitchen matter.
Our collection brings together kitchenware and tea accessories made from materials such as wood, glass, stainless steel and cast iron — each selected for the way it looks, feels and performs in everyday use.
Rather than following a single material or style, we look for pieces that combine practical function with simple, lasting design.
Wood
Warm, natural and made for everyday use.
Wood brings warmth and texture to the kitchen in a way few other materials can.
We use it across selected cooking utensils, serving pieces and accessories, where its natural appearance works particularly well alongside glass, metal and ceramic kitchenware.
Because wood is a natural material, variations in grain, tone and texture are expected and make each piece visually distinctive.
Caring for wooden kitchenware
To help preserve wooden utensils:
- Hand wash with mild soap and warm water.
- Avoid prolonged soaking.
- Dry thoroughly after washing.
- Do not place wooden items in the dishwasher unless the individual product page specifically states otherwise.
- Periodic application of an appropriate food-contact wood oil may help maintain the surface.

Glass
Clarity that lets the ritual take center stage.
Glass is one of our favorite materials for tea preparation.
Its transparent appearance allows you to see tea leaves open, ingredients infuse and the color of your brew develop as it steeps.
Our collection includes glass teapots, infusers and tea accessories in a variety of designs and capacities.
Some products may use specific types of glass such as borosilicate glass. Always refer to the individual product page for the exact material specification and heating compatibility of each item.
Caring for glassware
- Avoid sudden temperature changes unless the product is specifically designed for them.
- Handle carefully around hard surfaces.
- Follow the cleaning and heating instructions provided on the individual product page.
Stainless Steel
Clean lines. Practical performance.
Stainless steel is valued in the kitchen for its practical nature and distinctive contemporary appearance.
We use it across selected kettles and kitchen accessories where durability, ease of cleaning and everyday functionality are important.
Different products may use different stainless-steel constructions, finishes and components, so specifications should always be checked on the individual product page.
Caring for stainless steel
- Clean with a soft sponge or cloth.
- Avoid highly abrasive cleaning tools that may scratch the finish.
- Dry after washing to help reduce visible water marks.
- Always follow the product-specific instructions for stovetop or heating compatibility.
Cast Iron
A material with presence.
Cast iron has a substantial weight and distinctive texture that makes it especially suited to traditional-inspired teaware.
Our cast iron collection is selected for customers who appreciate tea preparation as both a practical routine and a slower daily ritual.
Construction, interior finishes and heating compatibility can vary considerably between cast iron products. For this reason, always refer to the specifications and care instructions listed on each product page.
Caring for cast iron teaware
- Do not leave water sitting inside for extended periods.
- Dry thoroughly after use.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Follow the care instructions provided with the individual product.
Different materials. One approach.
There is no single perfect material for every kitchen.
Wood offers warmth and texture. Glass brings clarity. Stainless steel delivers clean, functional design. Cast iron brings weight and character.
Wood & Cast brings these materials together in a collection designed around the everyday rituals of cooking, preparing tea and enjoying time at home.
Our goal is simple: to offer thoughtfully selected pieces that are practical to use and easy to live with.
