Table Object, Floating Chopsticks (wiped Urushi lacquer finish). - Chopsticks - Wood Brown

Product Description

World's first! Mysterious! Chopsticks float in the air. **Beautiful to display! Fun to use!** This is a table object (chopsticks) with a completely new concept that is a fusion of modern design and traditional craftsmanship. The set comes with lacquer chopstick rests designed to match the chopsticks. The novel 3D curved surface design fits any hand. The design was registered as the world's unique design. The unique technology that floats in the air by the repulsive force of magnets has been patented. The motion of changing the chopsticks is induced so that the user naturally learns how to use the chopsticks. We will pass on the chopstick culture and expand it to other countries as well. ************************************************* The current lot is now getting limited. ************************************************* First, I wrapped clay around a thin stick and made a prototype by molding how the chopsticks would feel against the fingers and palms of the hands in the state of using them. Based on the clay prototype, I created a beautifully flowing spiral shape that is easy to hold even for hands of various sizes. The hand part is roughly triangular, with a flattened part where the fingertips meet and a rounded part where the base of the fingers meet, for a good fit and to naturally guide the user to a correct and beautiful holding style. The tip is sharp and rectangular, making it easy to pick up even small foodstuffs that are difficult to pick up. The curved surface of the entire body is smoothly twisted to create a mirror-symmetrical shape, which is designed to be beautifully formed as a pair. (The design is registered with the Japan Patent Office). The beautiful wiped Urushi lacquer finish brings out the grain of the wood and will last for a long time if handled with care. Size   Chopsticks: length 23cm (9.06 inch)   Chopstick rest : 6.5 cm (length) x 3.5 cm (width) x 2 cm (height) (2.56 x 1.38 x 0.79 inch) Material   Chopsticks, chopstick rests: birch wood, Urushi lacquer, magnet Weight: approx. 70 g Developed and manufactured by Dagudou @ BeaTOOL < Floating mechanism> Chopsticks and chopstick-rest each contain magnets, which float in the air due to the repulsive force between the same poles.  A special arrangement of magnets was found by computer simulation to ensure stable levitation (The patent is registered with the Japan Patent Office). The left and right chopsticks also repel each other, so the additional small magnets in the hand part also adhere to each other very weakly. Since they do not come apart, the mirror-symmetrical shape of the chopsticks floats without any disruption. The chopsticks can only float on the sweet area above the center of the chopstick rest. The design is such that the chopstick rest must be handled carefully so as not to miss the center to float properly so that as you use it, you will naturally learn how to use the chopsticks. https://youtu.be/xJZoIOMRMqI The effects of magnets have been confirmed by dentists. Few metallic materials that react to magnets are used in dentistry. The magnets in the levitated body are very weak and are located away from the tip, which is difficult to get into the mouth. We try to use simple packaging in consideration of the environment. We usually ship within a few days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays).
