Feb 16, 2012

The following excerpts are previews of two interviews taken at Ambiente 2012, Frankfurt. We talk to the leaders of each company, Jørgen Bodum of Bodum and Antony & Richard Joseph of JosephJoseph :

[DA] Jørgen, tell us about Bodum’s tagline “Make taste not waste.”
[JB] The tagline is about five years old, about the time of the introduction the capsule coffee system. The capsule coffee system makes coffee 10 times more expensive, and secondly, if you take one of the big capsule companies, they produce 9 billion capsules a year, just one company; six-thousand tons of aluminum. There were many court cases against us when we made that statement. They were saying at the time they were 60% recycled and they’re not even 10% recycled. And so far we’ve won all the cases.

l > r: richard & antony joseph, founders and head of josephjoseph

[DA] JosephJoseph is known for good looking and well-functioning products. Can you say your products are design-driven or is there another way to describe the concept-to-completion of your products?
[AJ] We’d say our products are function-driven. Every product has a functional story. A lot of people say “oh yeah, that’s the colorful kitchenware stuff. Yes, color is part of our identity though that might change as it could be black and white in two years time. But we feel the constant, the overall driver is function.

As a flat whisk, Twist™ is ideal for mixing sauces in low pans or for making gravy in roasting trays. Its silicone-coated steel wires are suitable for non-stick cookware and are perfect for scraping and combining ingredients together, preventing them from burning on the bottom of a pan. Then, with a simple turn of the handle, Twist™ also becomes a highly effective balloon whisk, allowing egg whites to be whipped into peaks of perfection. All the parts can be easily separated for cleaning and, after use, Twist™ can be closed flat for convenient storage in a drawer. Its silicone wires are heat-resistant up to 520°F. msrp: $10.



Nestä is the ultimate collection of practical, space-saving kitchenware comprising a unique range of food preparation sets. Their innovative designs allow the individual elements within each set to be stacked together, thereby occupying the absolute minimum amount of space. Nestä Utensils are the latest addition to the range, comprising 5 essential kitchen tools in a compact, self-supporting design which not only looks great in the kitchen but eliminates the need for an additional utensil pot. The set contains a slotted spatula, spaghetti claw, slotted spoon, solid spoon and a soup ladle which all nest neatly together and are held in place by small magnets in the handles. The tools are made from toughened nylon and are heat-resistant up to 464F°. msrp: $25. 

At Joseph Joseph we put design and functionality before everything else – and we always strive to find the perfect combination of form and function. That’s exactly what we had in mind when we designed our new Spring 2012 collection – items like the Twist and Nest Utensils are appealing to the Joseph Joseph customers: the modern, hip and design-oriented city dwellers, many of whom have limited kitchen space.
 
The innovative, practical and stylish Nest Utensils Set completes an already very successful space-saving line – and is a product you want to show off on your countertop! Twist, on the other hand, turns into a flat whisk that can be neatly and easily stored even in the most packed of drawers.  ~ damon willmott, sales director at joseph joesph
