Gift tips for the chef with an eye for design

Do you know someone who loves to cook and enjoys a stylish kitchen? Combine practical tools with a touch of design for this person. These kitchen Accessories deserve to be seen:

1. The LookShelf keeps a favorite cookbook at eye level, but also provides a beautiful eye-catcher in the kitchen. This solid oak Shelf is perfect for an organized and stylish kitchen. The LookShelf is also ideal for presenting a book or record collection, displaying cherished photos or creating a personal accent in any room. A timeless design that fits effortlessly into any interior style.

2. The Plain Boards are versatile in use: as a cutting board for vegetables or as a chic serving board for cheese or snacks – ideal for cozy evenings with friends. When you are not using the Plain Boards, hang them stylishly on a wall hook, such as the Solid Hooks. This not only creates extra storage space, but also a beautiful geometric composition on your wall.

3. The TwoTowel is the perfect original gift for any cooking enthusiast. This 100% organic cotton cloth offers two functions in one: a tea towel and a hand towel, always within reach. Tip: Hang the TwoTowel on a Solid Hook for a practical and decorative addition to the kitchen.

4. The Angled Tray adds a sophisticated touch to your kitchen and is perfect for organizing spices and oils in an elegant way. Everything is at hand AND looks beautiful! Of course the Angled Trays are also beautiful as a tray for small snacks or to serve a festive drink or appetizer.

Tip: create a complete and personalized package by adding a fine cookbook or choose local delicacies as a finishing touch.

A festive table to remember

The festive table is the place where memories are made. Make your Christmas dinner extra special with our conversation pieces: table Accessories that not only attract attention but also spark fun conversations.

1. The OER tableware makes every meal special with its pure and timeless look. The material used also brings a sustainable touch and a special story to the dining table. The tableware consists of six different shapes that can be combined, perfect for a festive table setting.

2. Combine the OER tableware with the Tap Water Carafe for a complete and stylish look. This water carafe is available in a terracotta and a glass version. The terracotta carafe is ideal for serving water, while the glass version is perfect for serving festive infused cocktails during Christmas dinner!

Tip: Give your gift a personal touch by adding a handwritten recipe for a special dish – a small gesture that makes a lasting impression!

3. Use the Chaku coaster as an elegant and safe solution for serving hot pans and dishes. As easily as the Chaku performs on the table, you can also store this coaster when not in use. For example, hang it on a nice hook or place it in your cutlery drawer.

4. For some extra warmth and atmosphere, the Fixum candle holder is a must-have. This contemporary candle holder adapts to different Candle thicknesses and is a beautiful statement piece for the table. Tip: combine the Fixum candle holder with our rapeseed wax dinner Candles. These Candles, made from pure rapeseed wax, offer a sustainable alternative to paraffin Candles and have a soft white-porcelain color that perfectly matches the Fixum candle holder.
