Chopstick Pin is inspired by the love story in Shang Dynasty.

To remind us the importance of meal's delight between couples. The evolution of chopstick journey begins in Shang dynasty. Da-Ji was the favourite wife of King of Shang.
Everyone knew that the King of Shang hated hot food and one day, somehow a new chef came by to serve hot food onto the table.
At that moment, people in the room were so scared that they might got punishment. Therefore, Da-Ji came up an idea, she pull out her hairpins and picked up hot food with her slim fingers. Da-Ji had successfully comforted the King by feeding him with the external fingers tools.

相傳筷子來源為商朝紂王和妲己之間的調情用具。一晚,廚師送上了的食物仍非常熱燙,妲己靈機一觸,抽出頭上的髮簪夾起食物吹涼、再餵食,令紂王十分受落。此髮簪筷設計以該歷史故事為靈感,希望情人間重拾餐飲樂趣。
