I am a pair of Large Blackened Household Scissors. Black is de rigueur, but being sharp is more impressive.
To coincide with our previous Tajika Scissors and Shears exhibition, we collaboratively designed a pair of scissors with Tajika. The shape is based on the much-loved Household Scissors that we carry but the finish is different. We were inspired by the "Kuro-Mura" blackened brass pendants by Futagami because we liked the way they aged over time, taking on a patina that is a deep, saturated black. We were very interested in creating a similar richness in shade and decided to work with Daisuke to produce a pair of everyday scissors that has the same principles. Daisuke designed the Copper Scissors and his father originally designed the black handled versions. Needless to say, we are thrilled to be a part of the evolution of the Household Scissors!
