Being a Renaissance man or woman, you have a metric tonne of cookbooks and a set of kitchen knives that are the price of an automobile. Sure it mightn’t be a luxury model, but it would be one you’d imagine picking up from a shady used car dealer before embarking on a Fear and Loathing-style excursion across the desert with as much ammunition and mescaline as the glove box will carry. Unfortunately, these accoutrements take up valuable space in your sleek galley-style kitchen (the knives and cookbooks, that is) and a way of organising them that doesn’t involve constructing a mezzanine level is highly desirable.
Australian-designed-and-made, Toro Legno is a place to keep all of your essentials on display and makes an a feature out of it. Made from furniture-grade plantation pine, it houses cookbooks, a full knife set and even has a cheese board. Best of all, the bull doesn’t have eyes, so it won’t charge when you carve up one of his delicious relatives in front of him!
