Chopstick Art: Website | Facebook
Bryan Parks lived in China for a few years and, of course, made a steady habit of eating with chopsticks while there. One day during lunch—which was of course being eaten with single-use chopsticks, he asked his lunch partner how many chopsticks he imagined were used per year considering China’s population size. This simple question proved to be the catalyst for starting Chopstick Art.
Choptsick Art makes Folding baskets, handbags, trivets, necklaces, pen holders, hanging lamps, magazine holders, soap dishes and more. All Chopstick Art products are made from recycled bamboo chopsticks. The chopsticks are collected from restaurants and are then cleaned and sanitized at high temperature before being handcrafted into products.
