Wooden Pasta Fork

I am a Wooden Pasta Fork. I love being wrapped up in a warm noodle sweater.

Curator's Notes 

We love the soft carved form of this pasta fork. The three tines catch and weave thick noodles, trapping their heat in it's wood. Each is beautifully varied; covered all over in small hand carved facets, extending into elongated shapes following the form of the handle. The end of the handle turns up slightly more than on traditional cutlery, charmingly elevating the fork’s profile above a table when it’s resting face down.
