Jerusalem designer Avichai Tadmor created this scaled-up pencil sharpener for shaving curls of carrot onto salads.
Called Karoto (carrot in ancient Greek), the device for Israeli company Monkey Business can also be used on courgettes or cucumbers and comes in black or yellow.
Other products from Monkey Business on Dezeen include a pencil sharpener shaped like a wind-up key and a set of pins for making little animals out of wine corks.
See a sharpener for chocolate shavings by Japanese designers Nendo here.
Doesn’t a grater already do that? And where do you store a huge novelty pencil sharpener? Because that’s what it really is.
If I ever use a carrot as a pencil…
I’m pretty sure I’ll have a hard time “sharpening” my carrots.
They should do one for a baguette now. Landfill material.
