Stylish Straw-Inspired Whisks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Beater by DING3000 Opens and Closes to Save Space

— February 15, 2012 — Art & Design
Beater by DING3000 is a contemporary take on the traditional cooking tool. Inspired by a pack of straws, it provides a space-saving alternative to the whisk that is both practical and pretty. Although a simple concept, just like the average beater, it features a malleable material that not only allows it to be closed into a sleek, straight line, but also allows it to blend mixtures optimally.

A ring in the middle of the Beater by DING3000 slides up and down its length to open and close it. Produced by the Danish label Normann Copenhagen, Beater by DING3000 is available in eight different colors: white, grey, light blue, nude, lavender, pink, mint and dark blue.
