Iedde Mussel Knife

Giuliano Ricciardi Mussel Knife Kitchenware Monday, 9 November 2026

Iedde

Iedde is a mussel knife made for shelling mussels. The design is a redesign of the grammella, a traditional tool from Taranto, Italy. The handle is shaped to rest inside the palm of the hand. The blade follows the curve of the grip and joins the base. The curved form holds the tool in the correct position, so the hand does not need to be tilted. The blade is laser cut from stainless steel sheet and hardened in an oven. The handle is made of olive wood. Blade and handle are joined by two pins.

Tsuzumi Double Sakazuki

Yukino Shunme Double Sakazuki Kitchenware Sunday, 8 November 2026

Tsuzumi

Tsuzumi has a symmetrical shape with two cups on either end, and each has a different color.

It harmonizes with almost anything. Normally, makie is applied to the body or the inside bottom, but in the case of Tsuzumi, it is positioned as if it looks peeking out from inside. This is the very essence of Japanese beauty, which is modest but impressive. Layered urushi, tamenuri, creates graceful shades in the cup.
