"Comfortable to use, comfortable to have on display"

As the saying goes, Kenta Nakanishi's works are attractive for their comfortable usability and refined appearance.

Nakanishi, who enjoys mountain climbing, originally created tools for outdoor activities.
He says he strives to create elegant pieces that naturally blend into daily life.

His works are meticulously crafted down to the smallest details, such as how shadows are cast when hit by light and the seamless integration of wood grain.

This is a mini spoon made from maple wood.

It's perfect for scooping yogurt or jam, or serving with sweets during tea time. Its small size makes it a natural choice for daily use.

The calm color, finished with black wipe-lacquer, adds a quiet presence to your dining table or tea time. The smoothly carved form fits comfortably in the hand, making your movements elegant when using it.

The soft feel unique to wooden cutlery is also one of its charms. There's a comfort that makes you want to pick it up even during casual moments.

Its appearance makes you want to leave it out even when not in use. Although it is a small tool, it is a piece that gently blends into the landscape of your life.
