TTA Unit Frame

Snow Peak was founded in 1958 in Sanjo, Niigata — Japan's 600-year knife-making capital — by alpinist and metalworker Yukio Yamai, who was frustrated with the European mountaineering gear of his day and started hand-forging his own crampons and pitons in titanium and inox steel. He registered the Snow Peak name in 1963 as a tribute to Mt. Tanigawa, the Niigata peak with the highest fatality record in the world. The family has run the company ever since: Tohru Yamai pivoted to car-camping in the 1980s, and third-generation Lisa Yamai launched the apparel line in 2014. Guiding philosophy: noasobi — the art of playing in the field. Every product is still tested at Snow Peak's 41-acre campfield-HQ in Niigata, across the road from a Kengo Kuma-designed Field Suite Spa.

Snow Peak's TTA — Table Top Architect — is the brand's modular tabletop organisation system, a tabletop scale of the IGT (Iron Grill Table) platform. Clamp-mounted frames, stands, lantern hangers and tool holders build out your seat-side setup exactly how you use it, from a minimal coffee-and-book Sunday to a full camp kitchen. Stainless steel and aluminium construction, hand-finished in Japan, built to last for decades.
