This soup spoon is part of a flatware collection born from a collaboration between Swiss industrial designer Carlo Clopath and Japanese craftspeople. This collection was created as a modern take on Japanese food habits, this spoon is versatile and can be used as a dessert spoon, soup spoon or for serving. The simple rounded shape, gives the feeling of a single piece softly bent, curved and contoured to create a timeless spoon.
*As each piece is handmade and unique there may be slight variations in shape and finish. Due to the nature of the material and the forged crafting process, there may also be small scratches, scuffs, dents, colour spots and dullness, but this does not affect the overall use or feel of the spoon. This spoon is branded as a Chinese spoon due to its shape but is made in Japan.
Story
We first came across this spoon at a design store in Japan, we thought it looked cool so we picked up as a little souvenir. When we got home and started using the spoon it quickly became our new favourite utensil because it was not only practical and well designed but it looked great too. We knew we had to track down whoever made this spoon so we could share it with everyone, after countless hours trying to hunt down the brand we finally saw on the back of the spoon the brand name. Suffice it to say this spoon has been extensively tried and tested.
