October 12, 2005—Organize your kitchen tools and keep them easily accessible with the new simplehuman utensil holder with spoon rest. This stainless steel container does more than just hold a spatula—it organizes the kitchen utensils you use most often, whether large or small.

The simplehuman utensil holder is constructed of sleek stainless steel and lined on the inside and at the base with durable, easy-to-clean ABS plastic. Its slim, oval shape is designed to hold more items while taking up less space on your counter. The holder goes a step further than the typical utensil cup with dual storage heights, purposely designed to hold utensils of different sizes. Shorter tools, like measuring spoons and can openers fit perfectly in the shallow front compartment. Larger utensils such as spatulas, ladles, and serving spoons are within easy reach in the deeper two compartments.

The removable stainless steel spoon rest is also a unique and helpful feature in the kitchen. The spoon rest slides off easily from the front of the utensil holder, so you have it handy while making a meal or serving a dish. When you don’t need it, the spoon rest stores neatly out of the way back on the utensil holder and acts as an attractive design accent.

“We came up with this design for the utensil holder because whenever you need something in the kitchen, you can’t find it because it’s rattling around in a drawer somewhere,” said Frank Yang, founder and CEO of simplehuman, who leads new product development for the company. “We wanted to make a utensil holder that would put all the kitchen tools we use the most in one convenient place, especially the smaller ones that tend to get lost.”

The simplehuman utensil holder has a sturdy base to keep heavy kitchen tools from toppling over on your counter. Its sleek, stainless steel design also beautifully complements most kitchens.

simplehuman transformed the lowly trash can with the introduction of the award winning stainless steel “butterfly” step can in 2000. Today, simplehuman's mission to create “tools for efficient living” has resulted in a range of more than 100 products for the home, including paper towel holders, dishracks and an assortment of storage and organization products. The company has garnered international design awards from organizations including the International Housewares Association, and I.D. Magazine and BusinessWeek/Industrial Design Society of America named simplehuman one of the top corporations for Industrial Design Excellence in 2004. simplehuman products are available at fine specialty retailers in including Bed Bath & Beyond, The Container Store, Restoration Hardware, Williams Sonoma and Crate & Barrel.
