- A: Apparently the designer is the current chairman of the company that manufactures it (Oizumi Bussan). Apparently it was designed in the 80's and is a masterpiece that has been around for over 40 years. It may soon be possible to call it vintage.

Stylish cutlery that no one else has


A hidden masterpiece that shakes up the cutlery standards
A Yanagi Sori spoon that I've used for over 20 years (top) and a Bolero Mat spoon (bottom)
After searching for years, I finally found the cutlery that was just right.
There are some brands of cutlery that could be considered classics. For example, Cutipol, which is very popular as a gift, and Yanagi Sori cutlery, which is often seen in cafes. I have been using Yanagi Sori cutlery for about 20 years. When I was in my 20s, I chose it because I thought, "This is it!", but it became so common that it went beyond classic and felt ordinary. Inevitably, I started to feel like " I don't want to be the same as everyone else ."
Cutipol is also beautiful
Cutipol also has a long history and is very photogenic. I'm very attracted to the fact that it's handmade by Portuguese artisans. It's so popular that not a day goes by without seeing it on Instagram. But I feel like I'm a little full. Maybe it's because I care that I find it so often, but the other side of me, the contrarian, whispers, "Is that really okay?"
Having said that, it might not be a good idea to choose something that is a bit obscure.
At times like these, I thought the only thing I could do was shut out the information from the world and wait to come across something that resonated with my heart.
What really caught my eye was this cutlery bolero mat from Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture. It has a very thin neck (the part at the waist) and a beautiful shape that makes you want to touch it. When you actually use it, it feels soft to the touch and has a good grip. It has just the right weight and the edges are carefully finished. It was a cutlery that did not disappoint.
Although there is no decoration whatsoever, the design is anything but safe. From experience, I feel that it is this kind of design that you grow to love more and more as you continue to use it .
In fact, it is a masterpiece that is only known to those in the know, and it is a masterpiece that not many people have seen before.
What is Cutlery?
Cutlery is a general term for knives, forks, spoons, and other items used at the dining table. It is an item that you are likely to see when you go to an interior design shop. The sight of several different types lined up in a row is overwhelming. There is probably at least one of these in your home. It is an essential tool for modern eating habits, and it could even be said to be the main piece of tableware.
Cutlery that you can feel familiar with right from the start


Long Life Design Award winning cutlery
When you buy shiny new cutlery, you get excited, don't you? Shiny things without a single scratch are somehow divine. However, they are destined to get scratched after just a few uses. If the cutlery has countless scratches and a matte appearance, it can be said to have character, but it will probably take several years to get to that point.
The cutlery bolero has a matte finish , so it feels well-worn from the start. The smooth feel of the matte finish is addictive. Of course, even the matte finish can get scratched, but it gives it an increasingly vintage look.
It makes your everyday meals look a little more luxurious.


Easy to open
The design is very simple, with no decorations and a streamlined form with no straight lines.
Furthermore, there is a special feature about the spoon that you won't understand until you try it. It fits perfectly in your mouth. The edge of the spoon, the part that goes into your mouth, is cut perfectly.
Tender meat has a sharpness that makes it seem like it can be cut with a spoon, and that sharpness is what makes it feel so smooth when you eat it.
Of course, don't worry, they're not sharp enough to cut your mouth.
The knife is also angled well for easy cutting. It has a cute, slightly charming shape, but is also sharp.
It's amazing how when these cutlery boleros (mats) are lined up on the table, just like those oval plates , an ordinary meal looks stylish and luxurious .
For meals where only a spoon is needed, we recommend the oh original spoon , but if you want to use it with a fork and knife, we highly recommend the Cutlery Bolero (Matte).

Objects, photos and everyday life

I think the matte cutlery is very elegant and a tasteful selection.

The teaspoons and cake forks on either side are small, as their names suggest.
Just the right thickness and carefully finished edges

20 years before I found this spoon

I started living alone in my mid-20s. I bought everything I needed for daily life at a 100 yen shop.
However, I wanted the cutlery to be by Sori Yanagi, a product designer I had always loved. Since they were not easily broken , I thought I could use them for the rest of my life, so I bought five of each, even though I was living alone. It was a big expense for me at the time.
A few years later, I was shocked to find out that the price had fallen. Oh no! I wasn't sad that I could have bought it cheaper, but that the value had dropped even though I liked it and bought it. After that, I started seeing it in various stores, but I had mixed feelings.
Later, when I was in charge of binding at an interior design shop, I came across a lot of cutlery. I thought there were so many options, but at the same time, I thought, "There are too many! I don't know what to choose!" I decided to wait and see until my emotional antenna reacted.
A few years later, I fell in love at first sight with the vintage cutlery from the Carvel Hall LEISURE series by a designer named Irvin Harper, who worked for the American designer George Nelson. I bought as many as I could afford.
I really liked the small and cute design, but because it's vintage, there are only a few left, and frankly, it's hard to use... (Sorry, Irvin!)
Recently, I came across this Bolero. I had seen it in catalogs and such, but the existence of a matte type and the fact that it felt so comfortable when I actually touched and used it made me go "Oh!" at the balance between appearance and usability. What's more, it was made in Tsubame City, Niigata Prefecture, next to Fukushima Prefecture where I live, which gave me a sense of familiarity and security.
Goblet cup and that oval plate W20 and teaspoon
I'm sure I'll be excited when I get coffee with a Bolero teaspoon and a brownie with a cake fork! I think I'll become good friends with the person who chooses this. Lol
It is recommended for both home and guests.

Size and name misunderstanding


Cutlery has names for each size. In particular, the name "dessert spoon" does not mean that it is for dessert, but is an industry term used to describe the size.
In Japan, dessert spoons and dessert forks are generally used for the main part of meals. The next size up, called table spoons and dinner forks, are a bit larger. They may be Western sizes.
The Bolero Mat lineup only includes dessert spoons and dessert forks. Oh has avoided adding "dessert" to its product name to avoid confusion.

I purchased a qualifying product during the campaign and received this.
I think the shape is stable and easy to hold, and easy to put in your mouth. What's more, I also like the simple yet striking design. I would like to buy a new one if I have the chance.
Thank you, kiki. As you say, it's a simple design with a strong presence! I think this is actually quite difficult. It's a very well-calculated design. I'm very happy that you could feel that.
