One of the biggest issues with chopsticks is the way they are kept; just like a pair of earrings, it is very easy for one chopstick to move away from the other and get lost. Japanese design team nendo decided to create a pair of chopsticks that didn’t have this flaw. Their solution? Placing a spiral on top of the handles. These spirals keep the two pieces together, so they are less likely to become lost.
