“I can resist everything but temptation,” reads one of the most well-known quotations by Oscar Wilde, author and self-confessed gourmand. Like hardly any other famous figure, Oscar Wilde represents the uncompromising demand toward a higher lifestyle and a preference for selected delicatessens. The design of the Pure Black & Pure White series merges a similar kind of understanding and knowledge of a high art of living with a sophisticatedly sensitive functionality. Surprising at first sight is the matte black finish of this knife series which forms a stark yet well-balanced contrast to the white magnetic knife holder. Marked by an elegant and purist design language, the knives are forged from one piece of nickel-chromium stainless steel so their handles morph effortlessly into their blades. The Pure Black & Pure White series consist of two cooking knife models and one bread knife, turning them into a versatile kitchen companion. The straightforward stainless steel design and special coating make the knives very hygienic and easy to clean. The eye-catching white knife magnet coherently integrates into the design concept by both protecting the knives, as they no longer have to be stored in a drawer, and embodying a stylish kitchen accessory. Mounted onto the wall, this magnet seems almost to float, keeping the knives within easy reach even while cooking.
