Entry Description

A set of everlasting wenge wood chopsticks held together by leaf holders made from recycled silicone. Inspired by the vast unsustainability problem caused by single-use chopsticks, Ambi has been crafted in the image of a branch to act as a representation of its mission: the protection of our environment.

The ‘leaves’, coloured to represent each season, are designed to keep the chopsticks together as a pair and to act as a rest for people to enjoy pauses during their meals.

Ambi’s makes the impact each individual can have tangible while making each meal easier and more fun to enjoy.
