Twin brothers Antony and Richard Joseph launched their company in September 2002, and since then their incredibly creative and function based designs have made them one of the most innovative kitchenware companies out there. This ingenious Joseph Joseph Colander ($28 USD) folds completely flat for easy storage in the kitchen. Moulded from polypropylene it uses 12 live hinges to achieve its transformation.

Royal VKB is always coming out with great products, and this time these Silicone Trivets ($9 USD) designed by Ontwerpwerk, caught our eye. Colorful and cute, these animal shaped trivets will liven up and protect any table.

Lately it seems we've been spending more time in the kitchen, and when our old timer bit the dust, we went out searching for a replacement, and came across this Kitchen Tape Timer ($18 USD) designed by Jozeph Forakis, simply pull the ring to set the time, and as time passes, the tape ticks down, and when no tape is left, the timer rings. We love the fresh take on this kitchen essential.

These smart and sanitary four color-coded Index Chopping Boards ($85 USD) by Damian Evans are designed to avoid cross-contamination of various food types: red/raw meat, white/cooked foods, blue/fish, green/vegetables. The boards are dishwasher safe, and come with a sturdy horizontal filing unit, that features a non-slip rubber bottom. It's easy and stylish to protect yourself and your family from cross-contamination.

Unfortunatley, some of us women weren't born to cook, but at least we can pretend and look stylish all the while with this Wild Orchid apron ($39.95 USD) designed by Domistyle. Whether you are a seasoned chef or a culinary virgin, this is the apron for you.
