Restless Chopsticks

Uma is a Hong Kong venture capital company focused on creative economies. Restless chopsticks were designed as a memento object, representing the company's value of investing resources to make a change. The company logo resembles a pulse on a flat line, which was embedded into a flat-lined chopstick. The front part of a chopstick is always lifted up and kept away from the table surface, removing the need for the chopstick rest. The Pulse is designed to always remain sufficiently apart, not to collide, and is functionally valid for picking the food up, down to the most demanding small bites.

Track

This set of utensils includes plates, water cups, flower utensils, etc. They have a simple shape, bright colors. The white trajectory is like ice and snow sliding, and the outline is more clearly depicted as the structure rises and falls. The white folds give the cutlery an interesting light structure when exposed to light, making the turns more three-dimensional and vivid.

Tree Story Condiments Set

The Tree Story Container Set is driven by a desire to connect everyday patterns of living to the simple pleasures of the world around us. Sitting together, our little forest delightfully holds the most commonly used herbs and spices. The six different glass containers are drawn from the sheer diversity of tree canopy shapes throughout different regions of the world. All pieces are hand crafted in New York City. Material for the containers are culled from leftover, solid wood offcuts, with species grouped to reflect particular regions of the world. Tops are made of a lead free cast glass.

Softline

Based on the idea of "porcelain on the go", the Softline Collection is a great option for those who like to get their coffee, tea, fruit salad or muesli out of the house. The porcelain and food-safe, sealed silicone lid is neutral in both taste and odour. Thanks to the silicone sleeve, the glass does not burn the hands and can be grasped comfortably. All parts of the cups with different color options are individually recyclable and aim to provide an environmentally friendly, reusable alternative to disposable cups.
