It seems to be unusually cold around San Francisco lately, and I’ve been having to warm myself up with blankets and hot tea every night. As a result, I’ve been drawn to designs that remind me of warmth and comfort during these chilly months; and for me, these lovely spoons by Helena Emmans evoke those two things.
Emmans is an artist who studied embroidery and woven textiles at the Glasgow School of Art. She grew up in Edinburgh, but now lives on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Each one of her handmade spoons is labor-intensive and unique, and her work is inspired by the natural landscapes surrounding her home. Her collection of silver spoons are made for light use (for sugar or tea), or seen as decorative objects. I love how their organic shapes create a homey feeling, while still looking delicate and pretty.
