Zyliss has undergone a strategic repositioning, fundamentally redefining the traditional Swiss brand. With a clearly defined brand identity and a contemporary, high-quality design language, Zyliss is realigning itself – aiming for high acceptance and lasting relevance. Independent, elegant, and at the same time clear, the focus is on functional details and optimal haptics.

Today, the kitchen is often part of the living space, and cooking is far more than just a basic function – it is a positive experience. That’s why the kitchen tools combine everyday usability and top-tier performance with stylish kitchen interior design – in perfect balance.

Dark, matte surfaces with a cast iron appearance create a modern, refined look. Fine textures and precise details noticeably improve handling. A defining design element is the iconic long slot – topologically derived from the brand logo – which is both visually striking and functionally thought through and is featured in most products.

The focus on high-quality, sustainable materials further reinforces the repositioning: less plastic, and instead more durable and renewable raw materials. The use of innovative materials significantly reduces plastic consumption and improves the environmental footprint in a lasting way.

Holistic sustainability and precise handling define every knife in this collection. The robust, long-lasting blades ensure reliable performance over many years – a deliberate contribution to resource conservation. With a broad range of blade shapes, the collection offers the right tool for every cutting technique – versatile, accurate, and user-focused.

The redesigned blade guards are made from transparent material, allowing immediate visibility of the blade shape and structure – even when stored. Their simple slide-in mechanism ensures safe, intuitive storage and keeps blades sharp and protected.

Three proportional handle sizes are tailored to the corresponding blade lengths, supporting confident and precise use. The iconic elongated hole integrated into the handle provides a natural grip zone for individual fingers and enhances cutting control. A recessed thumb rest on the top surface supports various holding positions, while the sculpted handle end offers added stability during use.

The short, lightweight handles ensure a comfortable tactile experience and enable fatigue-free use. Textured surfaces and finely tuned weight distribution promote safe, efficient, and precise cutting. The refined design combines functional clarity with visual elegance. All design features have been consistently aligned with the new Zyliss design strategy and thoughtfully integrated into the brand’s corporate product identity.
