As part of our 'Travelling with KINTO' series, we share journeys where everyday rituals meet the spirit of travel. This edition follows photographer Bartek Kolaczkowski and his partner Monika on their time in the Dolomites of northern Italy, with the FORIS collection and ACTIVE BOTTLE accompanying their days.
Morning rituals in the mountains
“It wasn’t our first time in the Dolomites, but the mountains always impress with their sharp peaks and green valleys,” says Bartek. Their mornings began slowly, with coffee prepared in FORIS mugs, while Monika made pancakes with berries. Taking breakfast outdoors, warmed by the early sun, became a small ritual. The FORIS plate with handle offered practicality, fitting naturally into life outside.
Days of movement and rest
Between winding roads and high trails, the ACTIVE BOTTLE was at hand – light to carry and comfortable to drink from while walking. Whether pausing by a stream or continuing along a ridge, it kept water close without distraction. The FORIS collection also found its place throughout the day, adding a sense of ease whenever they stopped to take in the view.
Evenings with simple meals outdoors
Evenings were unhurried, often a plate of pasta or a salad with ingredients from the local market, enjoyed under the soft light of sunset. The setting gave each dish its own character. With its understated design and considered details, FORIS accompanied these moments, bringing a sense of home into the landscape.
