Using an approach of "If you use beautiful tools, you make beautiful things', Conrad decided to develop kitchen implements so as to bring functional art into people's homes. We developed our values around judgements of function that became our instinctive sense of beauty. Ugly forms didn't work. As a result of selective evolutionary principles, our driving force for development was and is striving
for beauty. Our generation is cut off from the tools and implements that keep us alive - we don't know how to use them. The tasks we do are very abstract and unfulfilling. Early tools give us a strong sense of security and understanding. There is no design, only a feeling of "this is good". Each frying and roasting pan is handmade and hand-forged in Observatory, Cape Town, by Conrad himself. They are treated with beeswax to create an almost non-stick layer and require no soap for cleaning. All of Tool Room’s products are ideal for fire cooking and stovetop cooking alongside roasting or baking at high temperatures in the oven. The pans and trays are made to distribute heat evenly ensuring the perfect cook, every time. A companion for adventurous traveller and sous chef in the kitchen, these pans and trays are perfectly designed to last a life time!
