While show-stopping design is often equated with grand gestures – a sculptural sofa, a marble dining table – smaller objects shape our day-to-day just as meaningfully. Gejst’s newest designs, the Kydo tray and Sina salt and pepper mills, are small in scale but grand in intention – a testament that everyday tools can be just as impactful as statement pieces. Both embody the Danish brand’s quiet philosophy: that good design lives in the balance between simplicity, presence, and purpose.

Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of archery, the Kydo tray takes its name and silhouette from kyudo, the ritual of drawing the bow. “Kydo was born from an image of an archer preparing to release the bowstring,” shares Kydo’s designer, E-ggs. “That simple, precise movement became a metaphor for a handle: strong yet balanced, practical yet poetic.” This sculptural curve gives the piece both elegance and strength – a poised moment frozen in time, calm and purposeful. More than just a tray, Kydo becomes a toolbox for daily life, built to carry everything from kitchen essentials and office tools to fresh drinks for the garden party. Crafted from solid wood and available in three colorways, it moves effortlessly through the rituals of your day.

The Sina salt and pepper shakers also bring balance, but in a different way. “Sina is about harmony between function and form,” shares C.F. Møller Architects, designers of Sina. “With oak and brass, the grinder gains a new character – grounded in nature yet refined through crafted metal.” Originally introduced in oak and steel, the updated edition pairs warm oak with a brass top that catches the light just so, adding a soft, light-reflecting gleam to the table. Fitted with the precise CrushGrind® mechanism to control grind size and paired with a minimal tray that keeps surfaces clean, Sina transforms an everyday action into a small, meditative ritual.

While both Kydo and Sina are simple in purpose, their designs and expertly crafted details ground our daily rhythms with thoughtful intention. With Kydo’s poetic silhouette and Sina’s tactile movement, Gejst turns simple gestures into moments worth designing for.
