Mise is an all-in-one kitchen light and prep system designed to support deaf and hard of hearing individuals while cooking. Its responsive light band shows timer progress and reacts to alarms, appliance alerts, or crashes. With a built-in timer, prep containers and a cutting board, Mise integrates seamlessly into your cooking flow — not just another gadget, but part of the process.
With Mise, every sound has a light, and every cook has control.
