Omix: The Foldable Whisk That Saves Space and Adds Functionality

A Multifunctional Kitchenware Innovation by Ayça Güven Koçer & Muzaffer Koçer

For decades, the design of whisks has remained relatively unchanged. However, Ayça Güven Koçer and Muzaffer Koçer saw an opportunity to reimagine this essential kitchen tool. The Omix whisk is not only foldable but also stands alone and can be used as a peeler. When closed, it provides an impressive 50% space-saving advantage.

The operation of the Omix whisk is simple yet effective. By pressing the buttons on the top, the whisk easily opens, thanks to the tension of the metal spring wire. This innovative mechanism eliminates the need for additional complicated folding mechanisms.

The unique design of the Omix whisk goes beyond its foldability. It features a rubber peeling part on the top, allowing users to effortlessly peel the surface of the bowl after mixing. This added functionality eliminates the need for separate peeling tools and streamlines the cooking process.

The Omix whisk is made using a combination of high-quality materials. The main body is crafted from stainless steel, while the head is made of silicone for easy peeling. ABS plastic is used for the plastic parts, and the spring is constructed from steel. These materials ensure durability and longevity.

Measuring at 271mmX70mm when open and 174mmx70mm when closed, the Omix whisk is designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The diameter of the body is optimized for a secure grip, making whisking a breeze.

During the six-month design process in Istanbul, Turkey, Ayça Güven Koçer and Muzaffer Koçer faced the challenge of creating a foldable whisk. The breakthrough came when they drew inspiration from the ballpoint pen mechanism. This ingenious solution allowed them to achieve their goal and create a truly innovative kitchen tool.

The Omix whisk has been recognized for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware, and Cookware Design category in 2016. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate practicality, innovation, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements.

In today's kitchens, where space is often limited, the Omix whisk offers a practical solution. Its foldable design, additional peeling function, and space-saving features make it a must-have tool for any cooking enthusiast. Embrace the future of kitchenware with the Omix whisk.
