For anyone that doesn’t know, OXO is an American company that has become famous for manufacturing household products that are easy to grip. The name ‘OXO’ has no special meaning (although it does resonate somewhat with gravy-loving Brits); founder Sam Farber just liked the name because the word looks the much the same regardless of what direction it is looked at from.
Research & Development
The company has a well-established research team whose sole mission is to design products that will help to make everyday tasks and activities easier to perform. To this end, their products are typically identified as being ergonomically designed with big comfortable grips. These designs enable all people to easily hold and use them, including individuals who are right-handed, left-handed, arthritic and disabled.
Products
OXO makes a variety of well designed kitchen items under the OXO Good Grips and OXO Softworks banners. Indeed, essential kitchen items of all kinds, such as utensils, bowls, baking supplies, colanders, cutting boards, food storage containers, grilling tools, shakers, measuring devices, oven mitts, timers, and thermometers are now common features in home ware stores up and down the UK.
As well as kitchen products, OXO also offer a wide range of indispensable household wares which are manufactured to very high standards and of course have ergonomics very much in mind. Without doubt, the storage containers, gardening tools, and office supplies available from OXO are amongst the most visually attractive and easy-to-use household products available on the market at this time.
