Brass spoon with wooden handle

A perfect gift for design lovers

Handmade brass spoon made of brass and woodby Japanese metalworker Lue Brass. He makes these beautiful spoons by hammering a mould for the scoop and then attaching a brass strip as a handle, which he then shapes on a block of wood using various tools.

Over time, the brass undergoes a colour change due to natural oxidation processes and develops a charming light brown patina, followed by rust tones. The original shine can be maintained by using a polishing cloth. Each piece is hammered by hand and is absolutely unique.

Ruka (Lue) Kikuchi, the craftsman behind the Lue Brass brand has been making brass products such as cutlery and bowls in a modernist design since 2000 in Setouchi City, Okayama (Japan). Since then, he has become extremely well known in the design-loving scene beyond his country's borders. Brass is his preferred material and the products are always handmade. Lue's aim is for his products to last a lifetime and give pleasure.

Although he makes all his work by hand, Ruka has recently started to take up industrial metalwork, i.e. cutlery made with the help of workshop machines.
