The Juniper stainless steel cutlery set beautifully combines functionality and philosophy, drawing inspiration from the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi which embraces imperfection and impermanence. Each piece reflects these principles through subtly asymmetrical designs that accentuate organic shapes and natural imperfections.
Based on the fukinagashi bonsai style, known for its windswept appearance, the cutlery set showcases soft curves and ergonomic forms reminiscent of bonsai's twisted trunks and branches capturing the essence of resilience and wabi-sabi's admiration for natural beauty.
