Confession time – I bought some of the new Typhoon / Pantone kitchen range today from Heal’s and now fear I will be judged as a Dajve Bikinus design type. I just think they are really well designed – oh yes pepper grinders, chopping boards, oven gloves and ‘friends’ are now available as well as the mugs. Good times.

yes. this is tacky.
yes. it is kind of congratulatory.
yes. the font is TOO big.
