Some words from the designer, Adam Clark: “Eliminates the skill and safety concerns surrounding traditional knife sharpening equipment.

Passamos horas em frente ao computador, por vezes o cansaço já nem permite que a música seja boa conselheira. O silêncio desconcentra, falta algo que nos permita concentrar no trabalho, que tal o som de uma brisa suave ou o som da floresta tropical? Quem diz da floresta pensa no rebentar das ondas ou na noite chuvosa que nos embala lembrando-nos do conforto da nossa cadeira. (more…)

Sitting down for a traditional dinner is a rare activity in our fast paced lives.
