How safe a wooden spoon really is – most people don't know this, but they use it every day

A wooden spoon is one of those objects that exists almost unnoticed in the kitchen. It does not demand attention, does not stand out, but is always at hand. In its simplicity, it carries the idea of warmth, homeliness and tradition, while at the same time raising a surprisingly modern question: is it still a suitable choice in an era of sterile surfaces, technological materials and a constant emphasis on hygiene? It is precisely in this contrast between emotion and reason that its charm – and its dilemma – lies.

Make wooden surfaces shine like a diamond: A recipe for natural wood care that cleans and polishes everything – from parquet to kitchen cabinets

Wood is the king of home aesthetics. From the warmth of parquet to the character of an old sideboard, wooden surfaces bring texture, history and a sense of homeliness to our homes. But these beautiful materials have one drawback – over time they lose their shine, start to look tired and, let’s face it, sometimes a little neglected. Fortunately, there is an elegant solution that combines ancient wisdom with a modern approach: natural ingredients that clean without harm, nourish without plastic and smell without perfume.

How to remove wax: the trick that works on all surfaces and that cleaning services don't want to share

Candles are wonderful – they smell like a vacation in Provence, they create an atmosphere better than a Netflix romantic drama, and with a single spark, they can turn an ordinary evening into something special. However, this magic also has a dark side: wax that decides to end up where it’s not welcome – on a new cotton shirt, a precious wooden table, or on your beige carpet that never liked experimenting with colors. How to remove wax?

Mui: an interactive wooden slat for smart home management

We found another interesting project on Kickstarter: the Japanese interactive wooden bar Mui, which can be used instead of a digital screen to control a smart home. The Japanese are once again impressing us with natural materials.

Shopping

Slovenska - Local Made: shop with products by Slovenian designers

At the beginning of the month, the concept store Slovenska - Local Made opened in the center of Maribor, where you can find products by Slovenian designers. Lucie Görlichová and Tina Krajnc are to blame for this, each with their own brand (LUCI and Moi), who thus took other well-established Slovenian brands under their wing.

Recreation

31 & Change - 100% natural longboard

The longboard is admittedly a more urban means of transport, but among its supporters there are also many who do not only swear by the asphalt and concrete jungle, but also like to get out into nature - without a longboard, of course. We have found the perfect board for all lovers of both nature and longboards. A longboard by 31 & Change, which is made from a raw log board. So different, so attractive!

Toyota Setsuna – wooden convertible

The Toyota Setsuna is a concept car and an art project. The two-seater convertible mirrors the boat, but not only in shape. Most of the car is made of wood, specifically Japanese cedar (external panels) and birch (frame). It is powered by an electric motor.

Slovenian WoodWay is not just a boutique where you can find products made from completely natural materials, but a way of thinking and a place where wood and fashion meet on a higher level. Under its roof are collected fashion accessories of various brands, which are every bit of nature. Their unique wooden watches, glasses and jewelry, as well as cork products, will not only be loved by those who love nature, but also by fashion gourmands. Most environmentally friendly products are handmade, created without artificial coatings and varnishes, biodegradable and hypoallergenic.

Tech

The Wood Kubb is a wooden PC that is both a piece of technology and a decorative piece of furniture

Even the most beautiful personal computers act as a piece of technology that gives them coolness. Wood Kubb is the complete opposite of computers as we know them. It is a wooden cube that you will gladly plant in a visible place, which is hard to say for personal computers. Most of them therefore hide under the table. Despite its small size, it can do everything the big ones can do. The 12.5 x 12.5 centimeter wooden shell hides an Intel Core i3 or i5 processor. You can pre-order the Wood Kubb on Kickstarter for (calculated) 400 euros.
