Description
This is a kitchen roll holder made entirely from paulownia, a timber that is among the lightest woods in common use, so the whole piece weighs just 0.278KG. It takes the form of a slim, round sleeve, 14.5cm across and 25.5cm tall, with a central wooden spindle for the roll and a single vertical opening running down the front. The loose end of the paper feeds out through that opening, so the roll stays tucked inside the wood and only a neat strip shows. Its colour is natural, the wood's own tone, with a soft, straight grain running from top to bottom.
It is made to stand upright on a kitchen worktop, beside the sink or wherever the counter needs a quick wipe, so a sheet is always within easy reach. Because it stands on its own rather than fixing to a wall or the underside of a cupboard, there is nothing to drill, and it can move with you as you work. The round outline and modest footprint suit a narrow stretch of counter, the space at the back of a worktop against the splashback, or a turntable board shared with utensil pots and bottles.
The holder is 100% paulownia throughout, from the sleeve to the spindle that carries the roll. Its light weight makes it easy to lift with one hand when the roll runs out: slide a fresh roll down over the spindle from the open top and feed the first sheet out through the opening. As with any wood, the grain varies a little from one piece to the next. The styling props shown are not included. To make the most of the natural wood, keep it alongside other natural textures such as stoneware and marble, so it settles into the kitchen rather than standing apart from it.

The roll sits on a central wooden spindle inside the sleeve, and the loose end feeds out through a single vertical opening down the front, so you tear off a sheet as you need it.
