Shoehorn
Oki Sato of Nendo designed this shoehorn for Maruni as an object that withholds its identity. Its sculptural form reads as pure form until the moment of use, when its purpose becomes clear.
The design pays quiet homage to the origins of the shoehorn itself. The word refers to the animal horns once carved and shaped into the tool, and the shearing gesture of this piece echoes that history without illustrating it directly.
- Carved from a single block of solid maple, preserving the continuity of the wood grain across both parts
- Two components held together by an embedded neodymium magnet, separating cleanly with one hand
- Weighted base provides stability while the functional element lifts away effortlessly
Maruni has practiced precision woodworking in Hiroshima since 1928, applying industrial exactness to craft traditions that reward close attention. This piece is a considered object for a considered space.
