Cheating Chopsticks - Tukaani by Lincoln Kayiwa Helps Get Rid of Sushi Woes

It looks like a diaper pin or a hair pin, but it isn’t.

Helsinki, Finland, based designer Lincoln Kayiwa was inspired by the toucan bird when he designed the sterling silver Tukaani, a connected set of chopsticks for the clumsy among us. A killer tool for the sushi aficionado.

The loop is the key element: it holds and lets you manipulate the chopsticks and can also be used to hang, store and display the Tukaani. In addition, it is eco-friendly as it prevents tons of waste chopsticks.

Lincoln Kayiwa was born in an architectural family in Kampala, Uganda in 1979. He graduated from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Utah in 2008. He currently lives and works in Helsinki.

He is also the designer of the Dino coat hangers featured here as a skeleton closet.

Chopsticks for cheaters may take the fun out of it for most people, but they add to the experience of those who are truly unsavvy and need to use their hands (or, *gasp* forks) when eating sushi!

I might need to invest in some of these chopsticks, since I am one of those people who must always resort to using a fork. For some reason, I have just never been able to figure out how to use chopsticks!

Having trouble learning how to chopstick? Think of this approach as cheap-and-easy training wheels while you learn the ropes. Inexpensive plastic clothes pins can be disassembled without tools or much effort and their spring can be reused with any generic chopsticks.
