For this new range of cook’s tools, the All-Clad brand
wanted to move away from single-sheet stamped
metal handles that left sharp corners at the
edges and caused ergonomic discomfort while
cooking. We initially embarked on an ergonomic
analysis of several hand positions and movements
done while cooking. This helped us pinpoint potential
areas for improvement during our sketching phase.
Through several rounds of prototypes and design
iterations, we created a common handle end that
could be modified to fit non-stick and stainless steel
end tools. The result a beautiful cook’s tools range
that maintains the All-Clad brand identity while
improving user comfort. The set is currently being
sold by Williams Sonoma
