Sand Drip Flatware Set- Brass + Stainless Steel
Hand carved and cast, the Sand Drip Flatware Set is inspired by moments as a child on the beach making drippy sandcastles with no cares in the world. Only the sound of waves, the salt air, the heat of the sun on your skin, and the rush of wet sand slipping through your fingers as you shape something fleeting.
Each handle carries that same sense of movement with melting edges and soft contours. A process mirrored in its making- hand carved, sculpted, and cast with a similar technique, preserving the spontaneity and imperfection of those early forms.
Cast in solid, lead-free brass and paired with 18/10 stainless steel, the contrast is intentional. The pieces sit heavy in hand, balanced and deliberate, with a quiet detail in the knife with a carved resting point for the thumb, guiding use without calling attention to itself.
There is a quiet, meditative quality to the set that is nostalgic, yet simple. Designed for everyday use, it brings a slower pace to the table. Not just tools, but objects that mark the beginning of a meal, the gathering of people, the passing of time.
Designed as a five-piece place setting, it moves seamlessly through each course with fork, knife, and spoons for every moment at the table.
Made to be used and returned to, each piece carries the mark of its making, with slight variations that ensure no two are exactly alike.
Over time, the brass will deepen in tone, developing a patina that reflects its use—each meal leaving behind a trace.
An object for the table. A set to collect and pass down.

To preserve the natural brass finish and sculptural detailing, hand washing is recommended for the Sand Drip Flatware Set in brass. Wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly after use. Over time, the unlacquered brass handles will naturally develop a rich lived-in patina unique to each set. If preferred, the brass can be polished back to a brighter shine using a brass polish or a natural mixture of lemon juice and baking soda. For those wanting less upkeep, we also offer an all stainless steel version of the Sand Drip Flatware Set.
