Not everyone has the dexterity necessary to handle chopsticks, but looking like an amateur in Asian cusine isn’t desirable either. For those who can’t pick up pieces of Unagi under pressure, Finnish designer Lincoln Kayiwa came up with the TUKAANI eating device. Inspired by a Toucan’s beak (not by difficulty eating Froot Loops), the dishwasher-safe and spliniter-free stainless steel sticks are gripped similarly to traditional chopsticks, but are connected by a simple curl that allows for easy grabbing.

Okay — we’re impressed with Sakke Soini. The Turku, Finland-based artist, designer, visual jockey and web guy is a mad man — but in a good way. The spacey Dark Side of the Moon-esque graphics mixed with some amazing colors is inspired. There is very little commercial work represented in his portfolio which is interesting to see, and probably pretty fertile ground for collaboration. Check him out.
