Meshverse

India's first house of woven stainless steel — every piece made from wire, woven like cloth, finished in silver or gold.

The Finish

Bare steel, or gold that stays gold.

Silver is simply the stainless steel itself, polished. Nothing added, nothing coated on — so there is nothing that can wear through, chip, or peel off into your food. It is the honest version, and it is what most of the range is.

Gold is the harder promise to keep. Gold plating on a kitchen tool wears off, always. Ours doesn't, because it isn't plating.

PVD bonds the colour into the stainless steel inside a sealed chamber at around 400 °C. The colour isn't a coat sitting on the surface — it becomes the surface, and ends up harder than the metal underneath. It doesn't flake, and it doesn't go dull sitting in a wet sink. It's the same process good watch brands use to make a gold watch survive being worn every single day.

We use it to make a chai channi that survives being used twice a day for a decade.

Silver

Stainless steel, polished and left alone. Cool and bright, and the weave reads as pure line and shadow. Every piece we make comes this way.

Gold PVD

Warm and deep, never a flat yellow, and it never smells of brass. Offered on the rice colander.

The Collection

The objects.

Woven, punched, etched, solid — and each one says which it is, right here. A kitchen tool has never come with its numbers written on it. Ours will.

Chai ChanniTea strainer

Herringbone mesh in a rolled rim, with a wire handle that hooks over the pan. The zigzag is visible in the hand — this is the piece the whole house is named for.

Herringbone

Rice ColanderWashing & straining

Deep woven bowl, twin wire handles, footed ring base so it sits level in the sink. The only piece offered in both silver and gold.

Plain weave

Sink StrainerSet of two

Conical, rolled rim, seated in the drain and lifted with one finger. Sold in twos because one is always in the wash.

Plain weave

Food Net Cover

A flat disc of fine mesh with a centre knob. Sits over a dish and keeps flies off without trapping steam underneath.

Plain weave

Frying Jali & Slotted SpoonSingle, two or three

Woven jali for puri and pakora; perforated slotted spoon alongside it. Oil drains as the food lifts, so nothing steams itself soft on the way to the plate.

Woven + perforated

Serving Spoon24 cm

Solid, polished, no holes at all. The one piece in the range that lets nothing through — and the exception that proves what the rest are for.

The Fineness Index

A mesh is a decision about what passes.

Bedsheets have a thread count. Mesh has a hole size — and nobody selling strainers has ever bothered to print it on the box. Tap through the options below and watch what makes it into your cup.

Origin

Drawn, woven and finished in India.

Two towns, neither of them famous. Wire is drawn and woven on an industrial estate outside Mumbai. The gold goes on outside Delhi.

Places like these supply half the kitchens in the country and never get their name on anything. The work leaves the gate unbadged and reaches a shop as loose weight, sold by the kilo. Meshverse puts a name on it — theirs as much as ours.
