Our connection to food

Posted on February 9, 2021 by psteiner23

Because I work on developing small kitchen appliances, I spend a lot of my job thinking about cooking and about food. We monitor trends in the cooking space and decipher what it means for our own products. Recently with the impacts of Covid-19 and stay-at-home measures, cooking at home has increased significantly. I hope this… Continue reading

Blue Marble

Posted on February 8, 2021 by psteiner23

The famous photograph called the “Blue Marble” was taken on December 7th, 1972 by the crew of Apollo 17. It was the first ever photo to capture the entire earth in one shot.

Our Favorite Solution

Posted on February 3, 2021 by psteiner23

We live in a consumerist society – there’s no denying this fact. I cannot wrap my mind around how many different things could arrive to our doorsteps within two days. It is a global manufacturing, supply chains and logistics marvel. Yet, it also presents us with an enormous challenge: how do we keep ourselves from… Continue reading
