Starck and Degrenne

Philippe Starck and French brand Degrenne join forces to reinvent L’Econome, the 1923 iconic series of kitchen tools, ending up with “an object to peel that peels itself.”

Degrenne and Philippe Starck join forces to reinvent the iconic tools of the kitchen and the table with the new collection L’Econome by Starck.

 

“I took a carrot and started peeling. One face, two faces, three faces, four faces, to realize that the carrot was no longer round but square, and that this square fitted perfectly the angle of the phalanges,” explains Philippe Starck. “The grip was perfect; it only needed a blade. The Econome By Starck designed itself by peeling itself: an object to peel that peels itself.”

After reinventing the Econome, Starck used it to shape a complete range of cutting utensils, recognizable from their sculpted handle: the Kitchen Tools collection was born. And since culinary delights are not limited to cooking, Starck has developed L’E Starck, a range of Table Tools from L’Econome by Starck Bcollection. Inspired by the carved handle of the Kitchen Tools, this collection of cutlery naturally makes the connection between the kitchen and the plate, preparation and tasting.
