Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Monday, March 16, 2020 8 Michael Graves Design: The Legacy and Future Michael Graves Design is an award-win- ning design firm with a rich history in product design and architecture since its inception in 1964. Established by AIA Gold Medalist Michael Graves, the firm has continued to make refined and inno- vative designs that elevate everyday objects with purpose and personality. With this inspiring legacy, MGD's historic products will forever be remem- bered in the prestigious Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. The brand will have its extensive product design archive as a part of the museum's permanent collection. A selection of 21 artifacts from the Michael Graves archive are currently now on display in Dearborn, Michigan, with plans for both permanent and temporary exhibits for the future. The Michael Graves Archive con- sists of over 2,500 pieces that span the brand's 39-year history and impact on the worlds of art, culture, design and com- merce. This will also include representa- tion of partnerships with other brands, such as Alessi, Target, Stryker, Disney, Steuben, Swid Powell, Sunar, Lenox, Dansk, Duravit, Dornbracht and more. "We wanted to find a partner that would enable current and future generations to dis- cover the positive impact design has on society and to celebrate the contribu- tion to design history made by Michael Graves and our firm," said Rob Van Varick, Principal, MGD. While The Henry Ford preserves its history, MGD is looking towards the future. This includes the presentation of its new line of house- wares with HDS Trading at the show in booth #N6346. Known for well designed, innovative products, MGD's new line will include kitchen gadgets, kitchen organization, food storage, pantryware and accessories. The collection will fea- ture classic MGD designs as well as new items, featuring its iconic colors and atten- tion to detail. The brand contin- ues to make its impact on the design world with its new product lines, including kitchen, bath, cosmetic storage and more.

They include 103 versatile built-in sewing stitches, needle up/down and variable speed con- trols and drop feed for creative free- motion sewing. A generous 6.4-inch wide by 4.1-inch high needle-to-arm workspace allows more room for fold- ing quilts and bulkier projects to the right of the needle, making for easier sewing. You also get seven quick-change sewing feet: spring action zigzag, but- tonhole, overcasting, monogramming, zip- per, blind stitch and button sewing feet. The spring action zigzag foot is extra- long, so when it's combined with the longer seven-point feed dogs, it helps provide smoother fab- ric feeding.

Dripless Cutting Board 2-in-1 System Fills Need for Style in Home Entertaining Entertaining at home, all day meal plan- ning, healthy eating and the return to old family recipes are redesigning the home entertaining landscape. The Karving King Dripless Cutting Board 2-in-1 System is taking center stage as cooks expect their tools to be attractive and util- itarian. Designed to answer the need for a no-mess carving solution, this large capacity cutting board with a 20.5-inch by 13.5-inch carving surface not only cuts the mess but also eliminates the stress when carving everything from turkeys and roasts to fruits and vegeta- bles. All of the liquid juices are collected in the drip tray drawer instead of on kitchen countertops and floors, which reduces cleanup time and allows home entertainers to spend more time with family and friends. Additional features include spikes to hold the food in place during carving, a supplemental chopping board, the removable drip drawer to collect juices which can be used for sauces or gravies, easy grip handles and non-slip rubber feet to keep the board firmly in place. The drip drawer can also be used to store cutlery. BPA-free and bac- teria-resistant, the Karving King Dripless Cutting Board 2-in-1 System is dishwasher- safe and requires no special cleaning prod- ucts after use. Because it can go in the dishwasher, it's also ideal for cutting up raw meat and fish. The contemporary design and choice of colors (red, green, blue) will enhance any kitchen or outdoor entertaining area. Made in America, the boards are crafted of a very lightweight and durable poly- ethylene, which will withstand the test of time. The polyethyl- ene is non-porous and odor-resistant. Karving King offers a money-back return policy within 30 days of purchase, a 12-month limited warranty for any material defects and replacement parts, should they be neces- sary. For more details about the Karving King Dripless Cutting Board 2-in-1 System, visit booth #S1752, South Building, or contact Kenneth King at 800.951.8384. Go to www.karvingking.com to learn more. Techko Announces Line of Outdoor Solar Lights Techko Kobot Inc. is announcing the introduction of its new line of outdoor solar lights that will be added to its exist- ing Techko brand. Since 1986, Techko invented an independent DIY Security Product Line. Techko security products are carried by many major national retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Pool Corp and Leslie's Pool. "We have been working on the Solar Light for many years, however the rapid growth of new technology has made it possible to for Techko to bring to the mar- ket quality solar lights that will last 12- plus hours on one full charge. Our quality solar panels are able to absorb the maxi- mum amount of electrons per charge even on overcast or rainy day. Our features, functions and quality are better than other higher priced competitor's models," said Techko Product Manager, Eugene Ko. In 2010, Techko Kobot expanded its existing security and office equipment product lines to robotic floor care products. "We have had many successes in our previous product lines; however, the products' life cycles were short. After years of research, we have decided to get involved in the solar lighting industry. We believe going green is the sustainable future which has the potential to continue to expand and improve in features, func- tions and its utilities. We are looking at the long term and already have plans for great new products in the solar sector that are innovative, practical and consciously patented and designed by our teams. We have made the product better and more afford- able to serve the mass market and meet the majority of consumer's needs. We have several other innovative solar products, which will also be released in the second half of 2020. We believe our solar light features, functions and quality are better than our higher priced competi- tor's models. Our corporate philosophy is to provide the best product at the best price," said Techko Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Ko. Learn more at www.techkogroup.com.
