Striped Spoon

Striped Spoon
 
Sometimes it is the smallest object on the table that passes through the most hands.
From her Sheffield studio, Signal Goods, Ella Nielsen carves reclaimed and surplus timber entirely by hand, allowing the character of each piece of wood to remain part of the finished object.
For GATHER, her small spoons bring intimacy and utility to the table — tactile objects made to scoop, stir, serve and share. Their scale asks us to notice the everyday gestures that happen around a meal.
Quiet, useful and deliberately understated, they remind us that gathering is made as much through these small acts as the occasion itself.
