In 2018, my best friend Thomas and I (Josh) established Katto .The inspiration for the idea came from a dark time in my life when I was going through a breakdown and was later diagnosed with a severe anxiety condition .It was, unsurprisingly, a really depressing period. Like the majority of people, I did all the things I could think of to improve my health .I drank less and began to run. I started doing yoga, got all the apps, and read every book. I started going to therapy and cutting out caffeine. Unfortunately, everything was in vain .My friend asked me, “Have you tried cooking?” as they sipped their (decaf) coffee last night. “It’s supposed to be very absorbing and meditative” .

With that, I proceeded. It really was .Time spent cooking (or contemplating cooking) was time I wasn’t fretting, regardless of whether I was perusing a cookbook, searching for strange supplies, or discreetly podding peas .My initial step upon discovering this new addiction was to purchase the entire set, as is typical for many people. Beautiful knives, strong cutting boards, and a whole lot more were on my wish list .I was on the hunt for eco-friendly cookware that was both aesthetically pleasing and had personality. It appeared as though none of them existed. That is, unless you count people like myself, whose annual income is less than one billion pounds .While eating undercooked spaghetti with insufficient bechamel, I proposed the idea to Thomas, and Katto was created .The company’s concept is straightforward.

Katto thinks that nowadays people would rather have fewer high-quality possessions. Things that endure. Items that people take great pride in possessing. Things that improve their days (and meals) .Those are the things they aim to produce .However, their primary goal is to guide them in the correct direction. Katto is committed to utilising top-notch materials. Human hands, not massive machinery, are what they seek. It is their hope that they will cause as little harm to the environment as possible. Above all else, they want them to be within reach of those whose income is below one billion pounds .You can find their earlier post on the knives here, and now they’re moving on to the rest of the kitchen cabinet.
