Kitchen accessories: beautiful and useful
In an open-plan kitchen, utensils are often on show. So choose them in noble materials – solid wood, stoneware, marble or metal – that develop a patina over time.
The essentials
Chopping boards also double as boards for cheese and charcuterie, serving trays carry and serve, salt and pepper mills accompany the table and trivets protect wooden tabletops.
Makers
Original Home and Trademark Living work in wood, while Muubs and Andersen design pieces with Nordic lines, made to last.
Your questions
How do I care for wooden utensils?
Wash by hand, dry promptly and, from time to time, nourish the wood with a food-safe oil.
Can I serve straight from a chopping board?
Yes, it is one of its favourite uses, for drinks and nibbles or a cheese board.
