Gestura – Stando Tweezers
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
The Stando project is a result of Gestura's interest in updating the ubiquitous kitchen tongs — which often tear or break food and feel like cooking with two clumsy thumbs. They calibrated Stando to feel like a delicate extension of one’s fingers.
They ditched the bland and clinical look of tongs and replaced it with a soft, streamlined shape. The namesake feature — a curved stand in the middle of the tool — provides a wide surface area for grip and keeps the tips elevated when not in use.
The curve is strategically placed to lean on vessels like 1/9 pans, pint containers, bowls, pan handles — anything with a lip or corner.
If you think of tweezers as solely reserved for micro greens and delicate plating, give Stando a try as an everyday tool.

Form
Stando combines the long tapered profile of Japanese cooking chopsticks with the tension and precision of plating tweezers. Comfortable for turning small veg, handling noodles, grilling, and daily cooking.

We ship Tuesday to Saturday using Royal Mail Tracked 24.
All knives ship via an age verified service in accordance with The Offensive Weapons Act 2019, which will mean the postie will need you to be in to receive the delivery & to check your ID if you look under 25.
The law also requires us to carry out a soft age check of the purchaser after checkout, this is done by an automated system that usually doesn't require your input, although we will need to contact you for proof of age if you fail, which can sometimes happen if you use a work address.
