ABOUT
HIPSTER LASERS
Hipster Lasers was born from a deep-rooted passion for craftsmanship and storytelling, founded by Alexander and Candace Saloomi, a husband-and-wife duo from Lebanon, now based in Toronto, Canada. Established in 2018, their journey began not in a workshop, but in their kitchen—where shared meals and laughter became the heart of their home. Alexander, a skilled woodworker with a background in fine carpentry, and Candace, a designer with a love for pop culture, merged their talents to create something truly special: handcrafted, custom-engraved wooden cookware that celebrates both function and fandom.
The idea sparked when Candace struggled to find a cutting board that wasn’t just another kitchen tool but a conversation piece—something that reflected their love for film, television, comics, and gaming. Frustrated by the generic options available, Alexander decided to craft a cutting board from scratch, engraving it with an iconic design from one of their favorite movies. The result was not only a functional kitchen essential but a stunning work of art that quickly caught the attention of friends and family.
Word spread, and before they knew it, Hipster Lasers became the go-to brand for pop culture enthusiasts and home chefs alike. From engraved cutting boards featuring beloved movie quotes and character silhouettes to custom rolling pins and wooden utensils adorned with intricate patterns, each piece is a perfect blend of artistry and utility. Whether you’re slicing, dicing, or simply displaying it on your countertop, every item from Hipster Lasers is designed to bring joy to your kitchen.
Committed to sustainability and quality, they source their wood from ethically managed forests, primarily using Canadian maple, walnut, and cherry for their durability and rich aesthetics. Each product is hand-finished with food-safe oils and meticulously engraved to ensure every detail stands out, making them not just tools but heirlooms.
Beyond creating one-of-a-kind kitchenware, Hipster Lasers gives back to the community by donating a portion of proceeds to local food banks, ensuring that their love for food and craftsmanship extends to those in need. Their dedication to quality goes beyond the sale—each cutting board comes with a lifetime guarantee and complimentary reconditioning services to keep it looking as stunning as the day it was made.
Driven by their shared love of craftsmanship, storytelling, and great food, Alexander and Candace continue to push the boundaries of kitchenware design. Every piece they create is a testament to their passion for blending nostalgia with everyday function, proving that even the simplest of kitchen tools can hold a story worth telling.
