Katto was founded by me (Josh) and my best friend Thomas in 2018. The idea was born out of a pretty miserable period in my life during which I had breakdown of sorts and was eventually diagnosed with an acute anxiety disorder. It was - as you might imagine - a pretty bleak time. And as most folks do, I tried everything I could think of to get better. I stopped drinking and started running. I began yoga, and downloaded the apps and read all the books. I gave-up caffeine and took-up therapy. But to no avail. "Have you tried cooking?", a friend said to me over a (decaf) coffee. "It's supposed to be very absorbing and meditative". So I did. And it was. It didn't seem to matter if I was reading a cookbook, shopping for obscure ingredients or quietly podding peas: time spent cooking (or thinking about cooking) was time that I wasn't worrying. Having uncovered this new obsession, like lots of people, my first task was to buy all the kit. I wanted beautiful knives, sturdy chopping boards and lots more beside. I wanted kitchenware which looked great, oozed character and had strong sustainability credentials. None of which seemed to exist. Or at least not for folks who (like me) earned less than a billion pounds a year. I pitched the idea to Thomas over a disappointing lasagne (under-cooked pasta, not enough bechamel) and Katto was born.
