sprig is a hand-carved spaghetti server made from dark walnut, designed to elevate a familiar kitchen tool through attention to form, material, and gesture. Departing from the utilitarian uniformity of mass-produced utensils, Sprig emphasizes asymmetry, tactility, and visual expression—offering a sculptural take on an everyday object.
sprig's asymmetrical tines evoke a sense of whimsy and playfulness, resembling the way the noodles dangle from a spaghetti spoon. The carved interior surface echoes the contours of piled noodles, creating a visual resonance between tool and task, as the dark walnut provides a contrasting backdrop to the pale-colored noodles.
On the opposite end, the handle is subtly rounded toward its base to fit comfortably in the palm, balancing ergonomic function with a soft profile. A small hole at the end of the handle allows sprig to be hung—either for storage or display—emphasizing the utensil’s role not only as a functional implement, but as an object of aesthetic presence in the kitchen.
