5 affordable design beauties for your household

Is that also available in beautiful? I know that features should take centre stage when it comes to household helpers, but I can still only let those into my home that fit in with my interior design concept.
I am known for not letting just any utensil into my household. Take, for example, a funnel. For years there was one funnel, thanks to my flatmate, which I simply accepted because I didn't need two of them. After the flat share break-up, I found interim solutions. Cardboard and aluminium foil became a substitute for the dream funnel for months. Not so sustainable, in my opinion. But I'm reluctant to lower my aesthetic standards.
Now I've come across "Funnel". Unlike conventional funnel designs from past decades, it is not brightly coloured or made of stainless steel as standard. Funnel surprised me with its all-black colour and soft contours. In terms of function, it also goes one better: it can be reduced in size with a simple flick of the wrist, as demonstrated here in a video. I appreciate that in my small kitchen. The smart funnel isn't exactly cheap, but in the end I will only have this one funnel and am therefore happy to make a one-off investment.
Funnel owes its shape to the Danish label Normann Copenhagen. It always scores points with me with its colourful and beautifully designed accessories for the kitchen. Even their cleaning utensils are made of beech and birch wood. This looks much more elegant than any brush from the supermarket. The washing-up brush can be recycled by boiling and the sweeping set also has a special feature: designer Ole Jensen has given the dustpan a hole instead of a handle. This means the broom can be stored directly in it.

Kitchen graters are often bulky and far from attractive. "Pinch" by designers Moritz Böttcher, Sören Henssler and Nikolaus Kayser is different. Although the grater is stainless like all the others, it looks chic wrapped in a soft plastic container. It collects the grated cheese in a targeted manner and leaves no crumbs behind.
The "Pin" peeler is encased in silicone, similar to "Pinch". This makes it non-slip on the one hand and visually modern on the other. The shape is more reminiscent of a pen than a peeler. Jan Christian Delfs has not only turned our perception and the familiar, iconic image of a peeler on its head.
