The Zvulun is a Funnel That Accepts Food Scraps While You Cook

The Zvulun has been designed to account for the fact that bits and pieces of recipe ingredients constantly collect on your kitchen counter as you prepare to cook. While it is not difficult to gather these scraps of herbs, vegetables, bread crumbs and meats, the action may require many repeated movements from one side of the room to the other.

This solution by Galia Tammuz is for a small and accessible garbage bin that can sit conveniently beside your cutting board. The conically sculpted pot is cast in concrete and can be used in conjunction with polypropylene and paper sheets that roll up to form funnels. This makes it easy for you to toss unwanted morsels, skins and peels into the Zvulun intermediate bench top trash bin with your focus kept on the food.
