KRION™ is a next generation solid surface developed by Systempool, a PORCELANOSA Group. I have been asked, together with the designer Enny Frroku, to experiment the possibilities of using this material in Kitchen accessories design. The requirement by Porcelanosa was to use  thermoforming as manufacturing process. The experimentation rough to different solutions, all phisible and manufacturable for production, included the Duo Tray and Chopping Board.

It is a simple elegant shape that offers a combo solution, as usually tray and boards are unpleasant objects in the kitchen. The idea is to make them into one elegant product to show on the counter. The composition of KRION™ consists of two-thirds of natural minerals combined with a low percentage of high resistance resins which provide its unique characteristics: an absence of pores, anti-bacterial, hard wearing, resistant, durable, easy to repair, low maintenance, easy to clean and easy to bend. It is processed in a similar way to wood and can be cut into sheets, joined and thermoformed to make curved elements.
