The Slowcooker has been designed by Dutch designer, Margriet Foolen (1982). The terracotta casserole was her graduation project at the Design Academy in Eindhoven (NL). On graduation, this young and promising designer immediately launched her own design studio in Bergen op Zoom (NL). She also produces several designs under the trademark “divers”. Because of the creative and innovating aspects, the Slow Cooking was rewarded with the Design Plus Award and the international Red Dot Award 2008 for product design.
