Kitchen Objects

Kitchen objects are utilitarian, but their production reveals industrial geography. Cookware, cutting boards, and utensils depend on metalworking, woodworking, and textile industries that are unevenly distributed across Europe.

This collection brings together European brands producing kitchen objects locally, from metal cookware in France and Italy to wooden boards and utensils in Scandinavia and Central Europe. Some brands operate small workshops, others industrial plants, but all retain regional manufacturing links.

Material selection and finishing processes define heat performance, durability, and maintenance. European-made kitchen objects often reflect functional design priorities and longer product lifecycles.

This selection is curated for those interested in how kitchen tools are made and how production choices shape everyday cooking practices.
