Jersey, wood

Puiforcat’s artisans have the rare gift of turning not only metal but also wood into jewelry-like art. Their Jersey collection, crafted from the exquisite Japanese cherry tree, stands as a stunning testament to that mastery. The craftspeople have learned a rare skill — the traditional Japanese lacquering technique known as fuki-urushi. The process gives the wood a soft, silky shine, maintains its distinctive texture and natural pattern, and protects the surface from wear.

The bold Jersey line from Puiforcat was born from a creative collaboration with the renowned designer Jasper Morrison. He brought his super-normal philosophy to life with simplicity, lightness, and disciplined lines translated into the warmth of wood, making this cooperation both distinctive and admirable. The collection seamlessly complements Scandinavian, Japanese, and contemporary minimalist interiors, where the beauty of natural materials and the clarity of design take center stage. Although the material is unique and uncommon, the pieces are highly functional while maintaining a premium quality. Paired with silver tableware or natural textures, it can establish a stylish contrast and a harmonious complement to the table setting.

The Jersey Puiforcat collection has seven pieces: the usual cutlery, a salad set, a pair of chopsticks, and a small holder for them. Perfectly versatile, these pieces suit both casual vegan meals with vibrant vegetable accents and elegant Asian-inspired dining experiences, where the refined use of sticks enriches the tradition of serving. Beyond that, these details can enrich any classy tablescape, especially those shaped by Scandinavian simplicity, modern elegance, or minimalist design.
