It has been a while that I wrote Kitchen Essentials pt.1. A blogpost about your must have kitchen essentials. I totally had no idea how to follow up in a short blogpost about knives or pans, since I knew less when I was reading more about it. 

While working at home today, because I wasn’t feeling good, I catched up with some old school reading and found Super Normal, Sensations of the Ordinary, by Naoto Fukasawa & Jasper Morrison, on my stacks of good reads.

A book about great functional design which became ‘normal’. Not something pricey or non accessible as how we interpreted design nowadays. Although I love design-design. Super normal is a very interesting project about what design is. 

At the end good design should be usable, simple, ergonomic, sustainable and timeless like  the following genius concepts you mos def have at home. You’ll appreciate these items more and you definitely going to claim these from your mom, dad and aunties haha

REX peeler, 1947 by Alfred Neweczersal, Zena , Switzerland made from aluminium handle and stainless steel is a real classic. If you don’t have this peeler you’d probably have the ‘bootleg’ version made from plastic haha

Moka Express, Coffeemaker 1950 by Bialetti Italy made from aluminum. This Coffeemaker is a ‘WANT’ for coffee lovers. Available at the better warehouses, now in all kinds of colors, but this one is a classic. A very nice gift tip I must say. Even after 60 years!

Sugar Bowl 1967 by Arne Jacobsen, Stelton, Denmark made from stainless steel known for the awesome Georg Jensen Cutlery (featured in Stanley Kubricks 2001: A Space Odyssey), Egg Chair and the famous Series 7. I think I saw this one earlier…in the office kitchen together with the milk dispenser LOL.

Goblet, 1999 Konstantin Grcic produced by iitalla Finland  know for Chair_One produced by Magis. There are all kinds of different tumblers like these. You’d never stood still looking at this, but it’s quite clever.
