SIMPO DESIGN

The design philosophy of Simpo Chopsticks is to go back to the basics, tracing back to the days before we have gone astray to overly industrialize an everyday item that is so essential and so simple. Our design process examines the traditions as well as modern day knowledge, synthesizing them, preserving what is good and rejecting what is bad to create something that is the best from both world. And by leveraging modern day manufacturing technique and technologies, we were able to maintain both quality and affordability.

The Original Simpo Chopsticks was designed in the style of traditional Chinese Chopsticks, which is a square cross section all along where you would hold them, followed by a tapered blunt end. This design provides exceptional Chopsticks holding experience; each orientation of the chopsticks would feel the same as it is made to a nearly perfect square, therefore as you maneuver your chopsticks during a meal, the feel of the chopsticks in your hand remain the same. The wooden texture make it non-slippy and warm to touch, unlike the metal ones. The tapering is well away from where you would hold so your fingers won’t be sliding off as tapered chopsticks would tend to do. The proportion where it tapers off is formulated by the famous Golden Ratio, a frequent geometric portion occurring in nature, believe to be the most aesthetic pleasing portion to human eye.
