NUO - Münire Çalışır

NUO is a set composed of a chopping knife and board, which complement each other in both form and function. The hollow in the chopping board guides the rhythmic chopping motion, keeps the food together and also serves as a resting spot for the knife. Both elements are specifically designed to work in harmony, forming a unified whole in both design and function. The knife is made from a water-jet-cut sheet of stainless steel, which is given its three-dimensional shape by a central pressing process, uniting the handle and blade into a single component. The radius of the cutting edge supports the natural rocking motion, whilst the knife’s own weight reduces the strength required for cutting. The chopping board made of ash echoes the circular design concept of the knife and, with its moulded surface, guides the movement. This creates an intuitive cutting process. At the same time, NUO establishes a distinctive presence in the kitchen and, as a high-quality kitchen tool, remains permanently visible on the workspace.
