Silke was designed to ease the process of chopping food and it accomplishes such goal thanks to its defining feature: an inlet that allows for a flat plate to be placed underneath one of its shorter edges, granting the minced food to be easily collected and latterly cooked or served.

A few slats of solid wood and 4 rubber feet are all the items required in order to produce it: the wooden slates are glued together, subsequently milled with the help of a CNC machine and manually sanded. The building process is thus extremely feasible both in terms of manual labor and time.

Presenting itself with an elegant and aesthetically pleasant outlook, Silke is the kitchen addition that will make the experience of cutting food quicker and tidier.
