These modern kitchen gadgets are the definition of multifunctional. Part of an Indiegogo campaign by Italian company Thingk, the GK series aims to be smart, beautifully designed and useful in many ways. The natural wooden blocks serve several purposes while also connecting to the internet.
Thingk's modern kitchen gadgets currently consist of two pieces. The GKILO is a kitchen scale when laid on one side, and acts as a clock when laid on the other side. It can be controlled using hand gestures and has no buttons or switches.
The CLOGK works as an analog clock and a kitchen timer, both of which are touch-activated. The round wooden stump can also function as a paperweight or contemporary design element. Both GK series devices can wirelessly interact with each other.
