I love cooking with fresh herbs, but due to the recent heatwave my poor herb garden has burnt to a crisp. As a result I have had to resort to buying fresh herbs from my local fruit and vegetable shop. Once home I then place my herbs in a glass of water or spare water pitcher. If I have several bunches of herbs (as I often do) I end up with several glasses of herbs, way too much clutter and not enough bench space.

This inadequate herb system came to a head the other day as I accidentally knocked the glass over that had parsley, mint and chives in it and ended up with green herb water all over my sourdough toast! Not happy and terribly ticked off I set off to find a solution to my current herb affliction.

And this is what I found the new Herb Stand designed by Jakob Heiberg for Normann Copenhagen. This cleverly designed stand keeps your herbs looking neat and tidy and the saucer ensures an even watering. I love simple, smart design and as fas as I'm concerned Jakob Heiberg has got to be as smart as they come.



The Herb Stand organises your herbs allowing you to gather herbs and scissors together in the one place thus making it easy for you to season your food. This clever yet functional design separates easily so that the parts can be used on their own or together. The Herb Stand is the perfect 'compact and stable' way to keep and use your herbs. And yes those funky green handled scissors come with it.
