Something a little bit different today – all the way from Finland.

Tukaani is Finnish for toucan. And it was the toucan’s bill that provided inspiration for this cutlery project by Kayiwa. The sterling silver Tukaani is a handmade eating device for Asian food consumers in the West. It is held like traditional chopsticks but is much easier to use. The matte surface and taut movement provide a steady grip, while the curl at the end allows easier food picking and delivery to the mouth. And the loop – well that provides easier hanging, storage and display.
