Handcrafted Chopsticks Rest

HK$360.00

The design of this chopstick rest begins with a shared memory. In the local eateries of Hong Kong — and across much of Asia — chopsticks arrive wrapped in paper. While the food is still cooking, hands set to work: folding the wrapper into a small, elaborate rest to lift the chopstick tips clear of the table. A gesture of hygiene, but also something more — a way to pass the waiting, to fill the space between conversations. Our chopstick rest holds that memory in lasting form: shaped after the folded paper, made of copper and finished with tin for safety at the table. In this lies a simple thought — that the small rituals we make to pass the time are worth keeping.

  • COXPER is a Hong Kong metal craft studio founded by Nathan and Hazel, dedicated to elevating copper and bronze through contemporary design and meticulous handcraft. The studio has built a reputation for exquisitely crafted pieces — from refined personal accessories to sculptural objects for the home — each demonstrating a deep respect for material integrity and finish. Beyond product-making, COXPER actively promotes the culture of metalworking through public workshops and educational initiatives, sustaining artisan skills in Hong Kong. At a time when traditional metal craftsmanship is increasingly rare, COXPER stands at the forefront of the city's contemporary artisan movement — combining disciplined technique, sculptural sensitivity and a steadfast dedication to the enduring character of copper and bronze.

  • Wash with regular dish soap and wipe dry to maintain its appearance. Copper naturally develops a patina over time — this is harmless and safe to use. To restore its shine, simply polish with a little toothpaste.
