The jaded chopstick
Ever since Confucius deemed knives too crude for the table, chopsticks have been Asia’s utensils of choice. Elizabeth An of Crustacean restaurant says they also should be as beautiful as they are functional. For her home accessories line, An has designed chopsticks handmade in Vietnam from ebony moonwood and jade.
