About

Summing Up Kinto Founded in 1972 in Shiga, Japan, Kinto began life as a wholesaler of porcelain and ceramic tableware before developing its own products in the mid-1990s. The brand built its reputation on a single principle: the balance between usability and aesthetics. Today that thinking spans drinkware, coffee ware and considered homeware, much of it still manufactured in Japan, drawing on the centuries-old ceramic heritage of Hasami. Kinto opened its first European base in 2016 and now ships worldwide, using responsibly sourced, BPA-free materials throughout. For Urban Industry, Kinto is a natural fit: design-led objects that reward daily use and sit comfortably alongside the technical outerwear and curated menswear we have stocked since 2002. Whether it is a morning brew at home or a flask for the trail, Kinto brings the same quiet, functional design language our customers already live in. How Does Kinto Stack Up Double-wall vacuum insulation: The Day Off and Travel Tumblers seal a vacuum between two stainless steel walls, removing the conductive and convective paths that let heat escape. A heat-reflective foil layer on the inner wall bounces radiant warmth back into your drink, so coffee stays hot and cold drinks stay cold for hours. 18-8 stainless steel construction: Both tumblers use food-grade 18-8 (304 grade) stainless steel, which resists rust and will not taint flavour. A powder-coat finish on the coloured versions guards against scuffs and scratches, while the smooth, electro-polished interior wipes clean and stays fresh. Engineered drinking cap: The tumbler cap is structurally shaped to slow the flow of ice cubes and hot liquid, giving a controlled, comfortable sip right down to the last mouthful, whether you are walking, driving or sat at your desk. SCS porcelain and the yo-hen glaze: The SCS Stacking Mug is kiln-fired porcelain finished with a matte yo-hen glaze that lets the underlying clay show through, so no two mugs are quite alike.
