Project Background

As a qualified nutritionist and recipe developer in the sustainable food industry, our client found the need for nice-to-look-at practical kitchen equipment. Good quality plastic chopping boards being a necessary, demanded product in the market, Fat Tuesdays aims to improve the flimsy, thin existing products.

The Process

The design of the board had to match its fun simple purpose. P&T explored form through CAD modelling, prototyped 3D printed models to experiment with different curvatures and handle sizes. We collaborated with our sister company and local recycled plastic manufacturer Defy Design, to ensure the design catered to their machinery and processes. Defy then experimented with colour sampling, and manufactured the boards.

The Results

Innovative kitchen product that is functional, user friendly and aesthetically striking, while playing nice with the environment. The thick form contributes to its value and durability, making it a reliable long lasting product. Available in many colour variations, its unique speckle finish ensures no two products are identical.
