Knife Stand

The idea of this extraordinary knife stand seems to have come to the designer Jörg Gätjens’ mind when playing „spillikins“. The principle of this knife stand is genially simple – two springs made of stainless steel hold together 900 wooden sticks; from the top the knives are put into this bunch. There are no rules where to put them exactly – just put them in and they will be safe and protected.

A plate made of high-quality synthetics represents the base, provides a secure stand and protects the surface from scratches.

The knife stand has a diameter of 12.5 cm and measures 25 cm in height. Just like the side-by-side tray “up”, the stand is produced in the Wendelstein Workshops in Rosenheim, where mentally disabled people have been finding a workplace for about 25 years now

The knife stand was created by Jörg Gätjens for the side-by-side project and was awarded the For Prize in 2002.
