Okina Flatware is the physical embodiment of Yin & Yang, light and dark. Two contrasting knife designs form part of one contrasting collaboration; the Orient inspired curvaceous knives and the European minimal straight knives.

Okina allows restaurants to change the aesthetic of the table setting for lunch and dinner services through the switching of knife designs whilst using the same forks and spoons.

The Fork utensil heads have deep round bowls to collect lots of sauce.

18/10 Stainless Steel, 10-year warranty.

The company offers a full recycling service for end-of-life products for sustainability.
