Aesthetic Value in the Contemporary Kitchen
A restored Berkel slicer is not just a tool, but a real piece of furniture that can change the look of any kitchen. Its timeless design, characterised by the sinuous lines of the flywheel, creates a visually striking focal point. Incorporating this historic piece into a contemporary kitchen can create a fascinating contrast between antique and modern, adding a touch of classic elegance to even the most minimalist of environments.
The presence of a restored Berkel slicer in the kitchen transforms the act of slicing into a true ritual. The smooth movement of the flywheel, the unmistakable sound of the blade cutting with precision, the aroma wafting from the freshly sliced food: every aspect contributes to a multi-sensory experience that goes far beyond simply preparing food. When entertaining, the slicer is often the centre of attention, a conversation starter and a way of sharing not only food but also a passion for quality and tradition.
