Product description
The gesture
Pick up a lettuce leaf or a piece of fish without crushing it, with the precision of a chopstick and the grip of tongs.
Why it’s different
Two slim, flexible beech wood prongs, connected at the base, inspired directly by the shape of Japanese chopsticks. At 25 cm long and weighing only 30 g, it feels natural in your hand from the very first use.
Why wooden tongs rather than metal
Beech, chosen for its strength and fine texture, is sanded to offer a smooth grip. A thin layer of urethane lacquer protects the wood from moisture and stains without altering its natural texture, a warmer alternative on the table than stainless steel tongs.
Why I chose it
“I liked these tongs for their warmer approach to a utensil usually found in metal. The beech wood provides a pleasant feel and a more natural presence on the table. It is typically the kind of object I look for: a very simple function, but refined down to the material and the way it is held.”
You will love it if
- you prefer wood to metal on your table
- you serve delicate foods (salad, fish) that deserve to be picked up without being crushed
- you like utensils that feel light and natural in the hand
It’s probably not for you if
- you are looking for a dishwasher-safe utensil
- you prefer stiffer tongs for heavy or bulky food items
In practice
Beech wood, length 25 cm, weight 30 g, urethane lacquer finish. Do not soak in water for long, dry immediately after washing, avoid the dishwasher.
An object designed to last
The urethane lacquer protects the wood from moisture and stains; with simple maintenance (hand washing, quick drying), these tongs will last for a long time.
