– holders for the knives
– board that is used for storage and organising items
– potholder that is made of 9 cubes with cookie stamps underneath

Hand made tools for hand made food.
Celebrating at the table is a set of wooden kitchen accessories designed and created by Magda Majnusz. This project celebrates craft, combining traditional wood processing methods with craft methods for preparing food. The tools can be used to make Pierogi, a traditional Eastern European dish. Organising a festive dinner can sometime feel stressful – the host is focused on the task of preparing a delicious meal in such a way that it interferes with the social aspect. Giving each person a small task makes them feel welcomed, purposeful and connected. Different tasks call for different skills and all guests are all given a way to express themselves, be it through the food or through the stories that are shared at the table.
Celebrating at the table invites people to break out dinner party habits, play with food and inspire them to explore the wealth of the environment in which they live.
