With these handmade sterling silver chopsticks, a Ugandan-born, Helsinki-based designer cleverly fuses a 3000-year-old eastern eating instrument with contemporary flair.
Inspired by a toucan's bill, Lincoln Kayiwa has created sterling silver chopsticks with a perfect grip. Held like traditional chopsticks, Tukaani is ultra-functional and environmentally friendly, made from one continuous piece of sterling silver, looped around to form a tong-like device. The loop is key to the function of the design, and can be used to hang, store and display the chopsticks. Unlike disposable wooden chopsticks, Tukaani is hand washable and much easier to use, with a matte surface and taut movement that allow steady grip. Each Tukaani contains an estimated 90 grams of sterling silver. Tukaani is sold as a set of four.
