The Ori-Kit is being billed by its creators as "the world's first origami kitchen set." The kit is made up of four pieces: a set of measuring spoons, a funnel, a spatula and a mini colander. The origami element comes from the fact that each of these flat-packed kitchen tools must be folded in order to be used. The folding aspect gives these items a unique and modern look. It also has a functional aspect as all the pieces within the Ori-Kit can be easily cleaned and stored thanks to the fact that they are collapsible after use.
The Ori-Kit is made from Teflon and silicone and is able to withstand temperatures of up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Funding for this set of origami kitchen tools is being sourced via a Kickstarter campaign which will launch shortly.
