jete - jeté - ｜Click here for the brass version of the spoon
jeté is one of the ballet jumps that ballet dancers perform by kicking their feet to the side.
I imagined a delicate, tense, and light dynamic feeling and tried to incorporate it into the simple shape of the cutlery.
This is an impressive series with a one-of-a-kind design that features outward curved details and sharp silhouettes that create a unique texture.
It has a classic design that looks like a real antique, but also has a modern, simple and sharp impression.
The surface of the material is nickel silver, which is baked to create a unique classical atmosphere.
Different from silverware or stainless steel, this cutlery has a beautiful contrast between its deep black, slightly reddish aging and shiny silver edges.
It has a slightly sharp almond shape, and the base of the spoon has a cut that gives it the same outward movement as a fork.

Cutlery artist Hiro Kashihara's works
Hiro Kashihara's cutlery has a unique surface treatment, giving it an antique, classic feel that looks like it has been worn out.
The contrast with the soft golden color of brass that gradually becomes visible each time you use it will add a shabby chic look to your table.
The charm of the material nickel silver
Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel, and zinc, and is characterized by its unique soft color.
Also known as nickel silver, nickel silver, and nickel silver, nickel silverware, which is made by plating nickel silver with silver, was once widely used in Europe to replace sterling silver tableware.
It was created as a substitute during a time when sterling silver was in short supply, and it is said that silverware, which had previously been reserved for aristocrats, became widely popular among the upper class.
Hiro Kashihara's works do not use silver plating, instead focusing on the coloring and aging of the nickel silver itself.
It is easy to form an oxide film on the surface, and as you use it daily, its texture will gradually change.
One of the attractions is that the texture of each item varies depending on what people eat, how they are washed, how they are stored, and each person's environment.
Please enjoy aging in your own way.
About care
Nickel silver is a metal that is sensitive to moisture and acid, and its surface color changes easily.
Please wash the dishes immediately after using them to prevent food and moisture from remaining on the dishes. Please be especially careful when using with foods that discolor metals such as citrus fruits, highly acidic foods, and tea.
Also, please dry it upright so that it dries quickly, or wipe off the moisture with a cloth (soft cloth) before storing.
