Trapezoid chopstick rests

Lijuan Wu / Spin Ceramics

RMB 20 each

Perhaps unsurprisingly china the material was named after the country of its origin. More surprising is that China’ china heritage, until recently, had slipped into a mire of hackneyed reproductions and obvious, gaudy designs aimed at tourists. Spin ceramics was a pioneer in resuscitating the tradition and putting a modern, well, spin, on it. As Creative Director Gary Wang explains, “we decided to go back to basics: pure forms, subtle colours and clear purposes”. Lijuan Wu’s Trapezoid chopstick rests are just that – simple, beautiful and totally practical.
