Innovatively designed, Nendo Cutlery limits the amount of material used, reducing the design to its absolute minimum and resulting in a skeleton-like form. Retaining the utmost functionality, the cutlery's unique composition enables the user to rest each piece at the rim of a cup, plate or bowl, or hang them in various places to be stored. Visually enticing, the set can be used to enhance an everyday place setting or formal event, whilst bringing a highly functional and unique element to the dining table.
Behind the Nendo trademark is Oki Sato, the Japanese designer born in Canada in 1977. Sato graduated in 2000 from Tokyo’s Waseda University and went on to specialise in Architecture (2002). While still a student, in 2002, he won the Gold Medal at the Koizumi International Lighting Design show, in addition to many other awards.
Oki Sato founded Nendo Design Studio in 2002 and has since gone on to produce contemporary designs for Cappellini, Fritz Hansen, Wastberg and Louis Poulsen.
