Tablewearable

From a young age, we are taught not to eat with our hands; and yet, what could be more natural? Pauline 't Hoen believes that it’s time to get back in touch with our food. That’s what Tabelwearables are for – jewellery that you can eat with. Earthy colours, matt surfaces and intuitive shapes; these all give the pieces a handmade, archaeological look. The collection includes seven objects, from an elegant finger-food picker for your fingertip, to a ring for cradling canapés on their way to your mouth. Each one reduces the distance to what we’re eating, inviting us to discover new ways to treasure our culinary experience.
