Look: Elevate by Joseph Joseph

One product you’ll never see me feature here at Kitchenisms is a spoon rest. Not only do I hate single-use gadgets cluttering my kitchen, but I find them cutesy, fiddly and plain infuriating. My dislike of the things runs so deep that when The Kitchn had a “Hot or Not” feature on spoon rests yesterday, I felt compelled to chime in (you can see my scathing comment three down). 

So I was happy to see, when browsing Dezeen this morning, that one of my favourite kitchen product companies, Joseph Joseph, has come up with an alternative. Elevate by Gillian Westley is a line of silicone cooking utensils with central pivots and weighted handles, designed to keep mess off your work surface. While I love the idea, I’m not too crazy about the colours, so here’s hoping Joseph Joseph expands this range in the future.

    This is a good idea, but unfortunataly NOT ORIGINAL.

    I already saw the same concept in the last Macef Design Award results here on Designboom:

    I don’t know if this project is a copy or not anyway i think the Forknelt is much better.
