Good design.
In your hands.

A kitchen tool earns its place through everyday use. Comfort in the hand, a secure grip and precise control make the difference when lifting pasta, turning food or serving from a hot tray.

OXO’s approach to Universal Design starts with making everyday tasks easier. The STEEL tongs bring that thinking into a durable tool, with soft grip surfaces and scalloped metal tips for handling food.

Ti redesigned kitchen tools for OXO while working at Smart Design in New York, with a brief to optimise production processes and support the brand’s design strategy.
