Normann Copenhagen Collapsible kitchen funnel.
|
The Normann Copenhagen collapsible kitchen funnel is a simple, functional and practical object, which only takes up space when it's in use. The material is flexible enough to be folded again and again, hard enough to keep its shape and durable enough to resist cold as well as hot temperatures.
The story behind the collapsible funnel:
Boje Estermann was in his kitchen one day in need of a funnel. Boje deliberately had not bought one because funnels take up a lot of space due to the non-flexible form. Nevertheless the funnel is an important part of the daily household and the core problem for Boje was lack of kitchen space combined with an inflexible form. Boje started to think of the possible ways to designing a flexible tunnel when he suddenly thought of his old reflex camera, which had a soft sunscreen, which folded out like an accordion when the sun got too strong. The unique quality of the sunscreen was clearly that it only took up space when in use - this way the seed to the collapsible funnel was sown.
Boje met Normann Copenhagen, and in a co-operation with engineers all parties developed this special soft material - flexible enough to fold together, hard enough to keep its shape and durable enough to take the cold, hot as well as the repetition of folding the funnel. The end product speaks for itself and apart from being space-saving and easy to clean the funnel is aesthetic.
