Serving spoon by Lue, Japan.
A beautiful serving spoon that can be used for serving vegetables and all kinds of dishes due to its practical size.
As time progresses you'll find that this spoon will patina and darken as the metal oxidises, also reacting to the natural oils on ones hands. Each is unique, featuring little scratches up-close where the craftsman has been at work.
About the artist: Born in 1983 in Soja, a city located in the Okayama Prefecture of Japan, Ruka Kikuchi (also known by his nickname Lue) was trained under his father, Masaaki Kikuchi, to be a metalworker. After a six year apprenticeship he began, in 2006, making his own cutlery and tableware under the studio name of Lue Brass. In 2010, the award-winning designer relocated his studio from Soja to Setouchi, where he now creates and pursues his craft.
Lue makes brass products such as cutlery, stationery and accessories. The small studio is located in Setouchi city, Okayama.
