chat plates and pencil chopsticks

Meal times can’t get quirkier and more interesting than this … “Lime slices for dinner again?” said the white pair of chopsticks to the black. “Why? Isn’t that better than doodling on an empty plate?” came the reply from the large plate.

Designed by Takumi Ishida to look like pencils, the ramin wood pencil chopsticks come in a set of four white and four black. Unfortunately, you can’t draw with them.

The set of three chat plates by Ikuko Nakazawa, are designed to look like conversation bubbles. Don’t you think the plates and chopsticks go together perfectly?
