{"product_id":"bronze-chopsticks","title":"Bronze chopsticks","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe chopstick is one of the oldest eating utensils in the world, and one of the least changed. The form arrived at its resolution centuries ago: long, tapering, balanced at the point where the fingers meet the stick. There is nothing to improve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat the Smutkochorn family have done - casting them in solid bronze in their Bangkok workshop, as they have worked bronze since 1954 - is simply to give the object a new weight and warmth. Bronze ages differently to wood or lacquer. It develops a patina particular to how it is held and how often. A pair used every day will look different, in time, from a pair used once a week. That is not a flaw. It is the material keeping its own record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSold as a pair. Hand-made in Bangkok by the Smutkochorn family.
