Wooden trivet Chaku

linear

Chaku is a convenient coaster for hot pots and pans, consisting of two triangular wooden shapes connected with a short rope made from recycled PET bottles. You can position Chaku as needed by placing the shapes apart or close together. The triangular wooden profiles ensure a stable stand, regardless of the position in which they are placed. In this way, Chaku supports everything from a hot pan to a baking tray, depending on the size and shape of the kitchenware. Chaku has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2020. The very simple and sympathetic design immediately appealed to us. In our opinion, it is a product that fits every kitchen. Just don't be fooled by the simple appearance because the product is also super functional and well thought out. Via e-mail and video calls, we managed to fine-tune the Chaku production together with Fynn and Lisa. We quickly agreed that the product had to be made in beautiful, high-quality materials. The wooden parts had to be made very precisely and we wanted to make the cord stand out as a beautiful but also responsibly made detail. In the end, we opted for a cord made from recycled PET bottles, which is available in different colours. The base of Chaku is made of solid oak or walnut in small batches in Eindhoven. The wooden parts are treated with 'Osmo hard-wax oil' for a natural look. The rope that connects the two triangular wooden shapes is energy positively produced in the Netherlands from European recycled PET bottles. In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.
