The right tool for the bakery

This pastry cutter made of stainless steel and oiled birch wood is a soothing alternative to the now common plastic models. The handle made of Swedish birch lies well in the hand and is firmly doweled to the stainless steel blade. The stainless steel blade (material thickness 0.7 mm) is very stable and has an asymmetrical shape - the pointed end goes into the dough first, the round one can also be used to get the last bits out of the mixing bowl.
The pastry cutter is a Baltic co-production across national borders: the manufacturer has the individual parts produced in Sweden and assembled in Estonia. The latter is done by hand, as is the treatment of the wooden surfaces, which are still oiled to protect them from moisture.

STORY

Here six visually impaired craftsmen from different cultures make brushes in the old Swedish tradition. Since August 2012, the company has been run by Richard Sparrenhök and Sara Edhäll. They care a lot about the craftsmen and the survival of brush-making. They believe that many like them appreciate the feel and quality of a hand-drawn brush made from natural materials.

Their vision is to revive the traditional profession of brush binding. By producing functional products with good design, combined with the quality of natural materials and the solid technique of the craftsmen.
