I am a Cutlery Box. I keep things in line and even the chopsticks behave when I'm around.
This cutlery box is one of those pieces that makes you rethink what “storage” can feel like. It’s made entirely of wood, finished with an invisible nano-glass coating that gives it the same durability and water resistance as lacquer, but without hiding the natural grain. The slightly rounded corners and edges add a gentleness to the form, that is a soft contrast to the metal utensils it can hold.
I love how it looks and feels on a dining table, whether filled with chopsticks or silverware. There’s a warmth to it that’s subtle but unmistakable, and the nano finish makes it just as practical as it is beautiful.
