HOVERLIGHT SPORK (case set )
SPEC
Weight: 7g, 1/4 oz
Size: 165×40×24 mm
Material: Aluminum (hard anodized)
Country of origin: Japan
HOVERLIGHT is a challenge to create the world's lightest metal cutlery. By applying the shell structure (curved plate structure) used in the Sydney Opera House to cutlery, the Idea Sekikawa team have created a product that is surprisingly light and has practical strength.
Features:
-Anodized aluminum exoskeleton
By applying hard alumite processing, which has more than twice the surface strength and oxide film thickness compared to general alumite, it plays the role of reinforcing the main body like an exoskeleton. By using it in conjunction with the shell structure, the creators have surpassed the lightness limit of conventional metal spoons.
-Strong and easy to hold cross section
The integrated, wide, curved cross-section is stronger than a typical flat handle, and it fits securely against your fingers despite its ultra-thin thickness.
-Easy to use fork
By having a straight tapered shape toward the tip, the design makes it easier to wrap noodles such as pasta, compared to traditional rounded spoon-like shapes.
-High quality made in Japan
Manufactured at a factory in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, which is famous for metal processing. In addition, the innovative design of the shell structure has been recognized, and the product has been granted a utility model patent.
