We have a long collaboration with Japanese brand Maquino. The first output are these simple two piece kitchen scales.
A favourite with professional cooks everywhere, these scales were designed to be easy to use, clean and store. Each time an ingredient is added the scale is reset to zero, using just one bowl when adding ingredients.
A pure design exercise. We created a very simple soft shape, using strong body colours and simple packaging. They cost around 2000 yen (£15) are currently only available in Japan through stores such as franc franc and Loft, or through Maquino’s own store in fashionable Aoyama.
日本のブランド、マッキーノとの最初のコラボレーションは、２つのパーツから成るシンプルなキッチンスケールです。使いやすく、掃除しやすく、収納しやすいようデザインされています。このタイプのスケールは、様々な場所でプロの料理人から重宝されています。材料を加える度にスケールがゼロにリセットされるので、レシピに沿って材料を加えればボール一つで済みます。
シンプルなパッケージと強いボディーカラーを使うことで、ソフトですっきりとしたデザインに仕上げました。フランフランやロフト、またはマッキーノ青山店で購入可能です。
