Slant
Knife Block


Personal Work.
Time Frame
: 4 weeks

ReMade is a sustainable entrepreneurship exhibition. I designed and ran a small production of a one off product, sourced all the recycled and repurposed materials, produced a limited edition run of 20 of the item, and created all packaging and branding.

Constructed out of Richlite, Slant is a modern approach to existing knife blocks. Richlite’s water-resistant qualities and allows it to be less prone to collect bacteria from water moisture. Its natural durability is what makes this block structurally strong but also non-damaging to knives when stored. Slant stores up to 4 assorted knives and its slender profile frees up valuable counter space for prepping and cooking.

Production

Richlite remnants is a by-product of resin infused paper, repurposed into industrial purposes that were adopted by the aerospace, marine and commercial food industries. It's anti-bacterial, durable, and highly sustainable qualities make it perfect for storing solution for knives.
Slant is a modern take on the classic knife block, holding two standard 8" chef knives, and two standard pairing knives. Each knife block is assembled by hand, polished to a matte finish, and sealed with a food safe bee's wax coating. Packaged and ready to be sold at the annual ReMade Show for two weeks.
