Description

A beautifully refined sculptural spoon, featuring a slender handle that culminates in a subtle hooked detail: both functional and elegantly understated. The lightly textured surface speaks to the hand of the maker and the organic nature of the wood. Impeccably handcrafted by Marie Eklund using only an axe and a knife, each form is shaped with precision and intuition. Through the elemental forces of fire, water, and earth, Eklund introduces tonal contrasts that enhance and honour the wood’s natural characteristics.
