A new Danish designed children’s cutlery, ToddlerTable Cutlery, was named as the winner of the Formland Design Award – Autumn 2009 on Friday morning. Two Copenhagen-based companies, Fabrikators and ToddlerCompany, have designed the winning product and during the opening of the Formland Fair at MCH Messecenter Herning they were awarded DKK 100,000 as a marketing contribution and an award statuette as the visible proof of the Scandinavian award.

ToddlerTable Cutlery is designed by Josefine Bentzen. The designer has placed emphasis on creating cutlery that supports the children’s development of motor skills. The cutlery was designed on the basis of the special way children grasp things. The Scandinavian Award Committee who are responsible for the choice of winner gave the following reasons:

“This is the child’s own cutlery. The design is good with a handle that fills the whole hand. The design, combined with an anti-slide material on the handle, means that the child has a good grip on the cutlery, which can quickly help to make eating themselves a good experience. The colours are spot on and the expression is unique. The cutlery is playful, practical and very attractive – it looks good on a well-laid table. And it is also made of environmentally friendly material. A new, obvious idea for a christening present.

The recommended retail price for ToddlerTable Cutlery is DKK 299. The children’s cutlery can be seen at stand C2710 at the Formland Fair.

The other nominees for the Formland Design Award were EGO with a bamboo collection, Eva Denmark with Eva Trio kitchenware, PK Design – Design House Stockholm with the Arrow hook and Hornvarefabrikken with the Anines vases. A total of 70 products were submitted for judging at the Formland Design Award – Autumn 2009.

Pizza can be much more than just fast food. With the right ingredients, it is a delicacy which has rightly helped make Italian food world famous. But one problem that is always there for pizza lovers and bakers is getting sliced pizza without all the fillings pushed down in one corner, while ensuring that the tough bottoms of durum wheat are cut properly through. Then there’s always the problem of subsequently obtaining purified pizza wheel well of clotted cheese and tomato sauce. But now there is good news on the way from Micro Plane!

The solution is an ergonomically designed pizza cutter where the wheel can be easily and simply be removed when the pizza is eaten, and can be put in the dishwasher. To ensure that the pizza cutter does not unnecessarily push around the filling but instead makes a nice and clean cut, the Micro Plane cuts the pizza with an extra-large wheel. For pizzas as in tractors – the bigger the wheel, the easier it glides over – or through – obstacles.

Micro Plane is known in both professional and private kitchens the world over for its ultra-sharp grater and other tools and now the company, after repeated requests from its customers, has begun to concern itself with other kitchen utensils in which the company can make a difference by thinking a little sharper.

In August there will be a fair held at Fairs MCH Herning. The Pizza wheel will be available in September 2009. It costs 149 kroner in the indicative retail price and will be available in independent cookware shops and at Inspirations chain stores.

The architects Bene dict, and Poul Erik Find from Tegnestuen Hindevadgård in Søndersø Fyn found ladders lacked aesthetics while they were unable to reach the upper shelves of the library shelves. Based on Høkerstigen by merchants used in the old days, they have created a modern design of the old classic. It can be seen at Formland Autumn 2009 14 to 17 August, which will take place at Fairs MCH Herning.

The steps are ergonomic and good to stand on. Even at the uppermost level, you are safe and comfortable with one hand on the extended grip.

After use, the ladder can be folded together and hung on the wall using the included Wall Bracket and therefore is always at hand when you need it. It is simultaneously a simple tool that is reliable and display furniture when not in use.

Connect with curly household films and environmental friendly stanniol

Stanniol – also known as tin foil – is one of the most environmentally friendly options you can choose to pack lunch and leftovers into. First, it takes much energy to the manufacture; secondly, it is virtually impossible to decompose. But a great many are using it because it is easily better than paper, which require elastic and some dexterity to stick together or domestic films, which traditionally have been almost impossible because of the label and it is extremely difficult to even get detached from the roller.

But now, there is a new Danish invention with silver paper and makes it easy for everyone to use the thinner, cheaper, and far more environmentally friendly household films. The solution is a foil cutter, using a hot wire and a rechargeable lithium battery allows the user to cut domestic films in exactly the length he or she needs. Domestic film protects the foil cutter transferor when it is not being used, so it is easy to find next time it is used.

Film Cut transferee is designed to hang on the wall, or stuck in the drawer, or be used by hand – all three ways that it easily cuts the foil over so that it does not curl and is ready to use. The effective cut is achieved by the foil cutter with a heated filament.

Pull the foil off easy and let it touch the hot wire, which are activated and in a few milliseconds heats the foil to 60 degrees. Then it goes into a nice smooth cut and can be placed on the bowl, or food. Film Cut Transferees are designed so that you cannot get burn on the thread, it reaches only 60 degrees. Also the wire is heated for only a few milliseconds and cannot overheat, hence it is very safe.

The electric foil cutter is the end to curly domestic films
