Golden Biscotti
ABOUT GOLDEN BISCOTTI Material and production Golden Biscotti are lovingly designed valuable items for daily use. The focus is on simple and clear shapes that can be easily combined. High-quality products are developed in small series and manufactured in selected Swiss craft enterprises, Swiss foundations or in our own studios. The focus is on traditional production techniques and natural materials and this is reflected in the individual products. Product designer Nicole Lehner is responsible for the design and appearance of the products; textile work is developed, among others, in collaboration with fashion designer Cornelia Peter. It is important to Golden Biscotti how products are designed and produced, what materials are used and where they come from. The work is carried out with great respect and intensity; if the products are seen as something special and are used for as long as possible, then the goal of Golden Biscotti has been achieved. Golden Biscotti since 2009
Straws The first straws were indeed made of straw and were produced in Switzerland primarily at the Aargau Freiamt as a cottage industry. Today in Switzerland there is only the cereal manufacturer Künzi in Maschwanden that still harvests the straw manually, primarily for weaving. This is reason enough to give a new lease of life to the natural product that has become rather forgotten For the production of drinking straws, the straw is harvested by hand with a sickle just before it ripens. It is then dried, cut to the right length and packaged in a low-germ environment. Each straw is unique in its shape and colour nuance and also an ecological alternative to conventional plastic straws. Compostable! Material: Wheat halm Length: 20 cm
