mikko senna’s ‘strongman nutcracker’ design for italian brand OOKY, provides an extra hand in the kitchen. the playful toy is modelled on traditional 19th century circus athletes, who performed impressive feats of strength through activities such as weightlifting.

mikko senna developed the appliance for OOKY, using the three separate parts, assembled together to form a friendly kitchen companion. the humorous toy can be proudly displayed ready for when you need some extra assistance.
