"While show-stopping design is often equated with grand gestures - a sculptural sofa, a marble dining table - smaller objects shape our day-to-day just as meaningfully. Gejst's newest designs, the Kydo tray and Sina salt and pepper mills, are small in scale but grand in intention - a testament that everyday tools can be just as impactful as statement pieces. Both embody the Danish brand's quiet philosophy: that good design lives in the balance between simplicity, presence, and purpose."
"Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of archery, the Kydo tray takes its name and silhouette from kyudo, the ritual of drawing the bow. "Kydo was born from an image of an archer preparing to release the bowstring," shares Kydo's designer, E-ggs. "That simple, precise movement became a metaphor for a handle: strong yet balanced, practical yet poetic." This sculptural curve gives the piece both elegance and strength - a poised moment frozen in time, calm and purposeful."
""Sina is about harmony between function and form," shares C.F. Møller Architects, designers of Sina. "With oak and brass, the grinder gains a new character - grounded in nature yet refined through crafted metal." Originally introduced in oak and steel, the updated edition pairs warm oak with a brass top that catches the light just so,"
Gejst designed two small-scale objects, the Kydo tray and the Sina salt and pepper mills, to demonstrate that everyday tools can be as impactful as statement pieces. Kydo draws formal inspiration from kyudo, the Japanese art of archery, translating a poised, balanced gesture into a sculptural wooden handle and multifunctional tray built to carry daily essentials. Sina pairs oak with brass and a precise CrushGrind® mechanism, creating a grounded yet refined grinder that adds a soft gleam and a minimal tray to keep surfaces clean. Both pieces emphasize simplicity, presence, and purposeful ritual in daily use.
