ICHI | Espresso Spoon

ICHI is a completed version of the cutlery, that Ole Palsby designed with inspiration from Japan. The cutlery was in 1990 awarded with the Formlandprisen as well as the Japanese Design Prize.

Ole Palsby finished the design and the first prototypes together with the Japanese craftsman Kazonosuke Ohizumi shortly before he passed away in 2010. Thereby, ICHI became the great finale in his long career as industrial designer.

ICHI means one or the first in Japanese and Ole Palsby finale will be the beginning of a new era for his timeless design with the launch of the first products based on the ICHI concept. Ole Palsby Design presents 2 complete cutlery ranges: ICHI MATTE in classic matte polished steel, and ICHI TITANIUM with a black titanium finish combining supreme strength with a silky touch.
