Magnetic Products

KalaMitica containers, cachepots and accessories have a very powerful permanent neodymium magnet.
They can be hung on any metal surface containing iron.
Their stability and adhesion will depend on the composition and thickness of the support.

They can be hung on the fridge only if it has a metal surface.
Their stability and adhesion will depend on the thickness of the surface and on the percentage of iron in it.

KalaMitica containers and cachepots are made of ABS resin.
Most of them are co-molded with a permanent neodymium magnet, which therefore is an integral part of the container.
Others have a powerful magnet that can be removed from the container itself.
All the containers in our range are 100% Made in Italy.

ABS resin is recyclable and must be disposed of as plastic waste. However, the magnet must be removed first.
For this operation it may be necessary to use a pair of pliers.

All KalaMitica products are designed mainly for interior decoration.
They can also be used outdoors, but we cannot guarantee their perfect preservation if directly exposed to weathering and sunlight.
We recommend keeping them away from rain and direct sunlight.

The KalaMitica items listed below are especially designed to contain food, as they have a movable fixing system thanks to which the magnet never touches the internal part of the container.

To date, there have been no problems linked to the contact with water.
However, we recommend not exposing the containers to rain and not inserting plants in them without a vase.
If you want to use them to contain plants, it is important that they have their own pot. In case of direct and prolonged contact with water and potting soil, the magnet might be corroded, thus ruining the appearance of the container.

No. Magnetic paints contain a low concentration of iron microparticles. This amount is only suitable for light magnets, photos and paper sheets, and is not sufficient to guarantee the magnetic attraction required for heavier accessories or filled containers.

For a safe, stable vertical arrangement capable of supporting the weight of pots, plants, bottles or kitchen utensils, the ideal solution remains a steel panel or board.

We advise against using KalaMitica accessories on magnetic glass panels and backsplashes. The thickness of the glass creates too great a distance between the magnets and the underlying metal plate, significantly reducing the magnetic attraction.

For this reason, we cannot guarantee a stable and secure hold on these types of surfaces. For optimal hold, we recommend direct application onto ferritic steel boards and panels.

Each container can support a certain weight, depending on its size and shape.
In the technical data sheet of each item you can read the maximum weight that can be carried.
The value indicated is valid when the container is hung on a KalaMitica chalkboard, which has a thickness of 1.2 mm.
Tests have been carried out on our metal supports.

Our containers are available in many different dimensions, depending on the type of product.
More details can be found in the technical data sheet of each item.

KalaMitica containers have a permanent neodymium magnet that lasts forever.

To date, there have been no problems with dishwashing.
However, we suggest not washing our products at very high temperatures or with aggressive detergents, that could negatively affect the magnet holding force.
However, the containers listed below, unlike all the others, have a movable fixing system that allows you to separate the container from the magnet.
All these items can therefore be washed in the dishwasher without any problem, like every kitchen accessory made of ABS resin:

Yes, the magnet of our containers could cause some problems to mobile phones and credit cards, if placed in direct contact with them.
With the items listed below, however, this problem does not arise. Unlike the others, these containers have a movable fixing system, thanks to which the magnet never touches the internal part of the container, and the magnetic force is directed only towards the chalkboard:

No. KalaMitica shelves, containers, and accessories are designed as magnetic items: their backs feature powerful neodymium magnets meant to adhere to ferrous metal surfaces, with no holes or fittings for installation using screws or wall plugs.

To use them on a wall, you must first mount a metal panel or board, onto which you can freely place and rearrange the accessories.
