Revolutionizing Dining with Zirconia Cutlery: The Sumu Series

Masanori Oji's Sumu Series: A New Era of Allergen-Free, Aesthetically Pleasing Cutlery

Imagine a dining experience where the cutlery does not interfere with the flavors of the dishes, where the utensils are allergen-free and bring a sense of serenity to the table. This is the vision realized by Masanori Oji in the Sumu Series, a unique cutlery set made of zirconia. With a decade of research and development behind it, the Sumu Series is a testament to the power of innovation in everyday life.

Zirconia, a material known for its durability and flexibility, is the star of the Sumu Series. Through a process of injection molding and high-temperature sintering, the zirconia is shaped into cutlery that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The matte finish of the cutlery softly reflects atmospheric lighting, adding a touch of tranquility to the dining scene.

But the Sumu Series is not just about aesthetics. The zirconia cutlery is also practical and health-conscious. As the material releases no metallic ions, it does not interfere with the flavors of the dishes or cause metallic allergies. The thin, silky finish of the zirconia tip makes it easy to hold the food, providing an exceptionally smooth feeling in and out of the mouth.

The Sumu Series is not just a cutlery set; it is a dining experience. It supports the table scenery by softly reflecting atmospheric lighting and brings purity to the tongue. It is a testament to the power of design and innovation, and a reminder that even the most everyday objects can be transformed into works of art.

The Sumu Series has been recognized for its innovative design, winning the Golden A' Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom. They are venerated products and bright ideas that advance art, science, design, and technology, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
