The name of the spoon comes from its wood, Ipe - one of the densest woods on Earth. It is known to bend nails and resist fire similarly to concrete and steel. This delicate, minimalistic, feminine silhouette has more strength than it seems at first glance. The carved torso handle feels wonderful in the hand, and the elongated, deep, oval scoop is deep and versatile. Delicate and strong is the dual meaning that this spoon contains, sure to bring the best aspects of both qualities to its new home and owner.
