According to Belgium graduate of industrial product design, Arnaud Desseyn, the brainchild of this super cool outdoor cookware, Kombuis is a Dutch word for galley on a ship, and in Dutch, “kom” and “buis” means bowl and tube which are what it really is; the bowl, in this instance, is the pot, while the tube is the stove. Speaking of the stove, it is actually kind of neat.

Also the biggest part of the setup, the stove form the base of Kombuis and features a half grill and a hole at its side where fuel is introduced. If I may say, that’s actually quite ingenious. The frying pan/lid also deserves a special mention because it has a spout that enables easy draining of any liquid. Sweet. Obviously, the Kombuis is not going to feed an army, but a man’s (or woman’s) adventure, it should be sufficient, and it is clearly the signal to the start of camping light.
