kibisi along with muuto have designed 'hang around and toss around',
a collection of kitchen utensils that combine form, function and craftsmanship.
the series will be previewed for the first time at maison et objet 2011.
the collection of simple wooden tools are precisely designed and crafted
for improved functionality in the kitchen.
jens martin skibsted, partner of copenhagen based kibisi says:
'we were originally inspired by bhutanese crafts. their wooden everyday
tools seem to have layers of stories and thoughts. we concocted that with our
scandinavian design heritage and our idea-lead, no fluff design philosophy
and this little invention was bread.'
'hang around' clings to the side of pots and pans
the sculpted and continuous form of 'hang around' is interrupted by a
slim extrusion cut from the backside that allows the utensil to cling to the
side of a pot or pan. this minimal alteration to the everyday object provides
the chef with a cleaner workspace and a more effective use of time.
