Slow Cutlery

In my project, the user becomes part of the creation. They choose colors, combine parts, and finish the cutlery with their own hands. It’s a quiet, hands-on moment – shaping something that will later sit at their table every day. That simple act of assembly turns an ordinary fork into something personal, with your own touch added to it. When you’ve had a hand in shaping it, you care for it differently. It’s no longer just a product – it’s yours.
