Material is an AAPI-founded kitchenware brand famous amongst celebrities such as Bobby Berk and Oprah Winfrey. The business has designed miniature replicas of its best-selling gadgets for a younger audience. Despite having a reputation for offering durable knives and high-end cookware for adults, Material has embraced vibrant, bold colors and childproof materials for the kids' collection.
The set is entirely BPA-free and dishwasher safe, including a smaller silicone spatula and an air whisk. Additionally, Material developed the Cook Deck, a graphic card game designed by Joshua David Stein, a children's book author and food critic, and illustrator Erin Jang.
“In an age of immediacy and intangibility, [kids] are drawn to the physicality and patience required in the kitchen," commented Material's cofounder, Eunice Byun.
The kid’s collection from Material is available online at the brand’s website.
