Rieko Fujimoto

One of a kind fork design by Japanese craftswoman Rieko Fujimoto.

Each is handmade in Neyagawa, Osaka by Rieko and is designed for a child, although it can be used by someone with smaller hands.

Every item Rieko creates is put together by her, often by hammering the material into shape with specialist tools.

We love seeing all the detail that working in this way presents, with subtle indentations and makers marks reminding you of the skill it takes to create in this way.

The curve at the tip of the fork helps the child scoop the food up easily, making this an ideal introduction to eating with utensils.

Dimensions: 8cm in Length x 2cm in Width
