There are no words for how awesome the Morihata booth at the Gift Fair was. It was jam-packed with the sort of simple-but-beautiful things that I love so much but that my camera can never seem to do justice. Every piece I picked up seemed to serve such a simple but useful function and do it with a perfectly refined style. I had a hard time picking a favorite, but if I had to, I’d say it was a two-way tie between the brass hook and trivet collection and the adorable whale letter-openers (how awesome are those?). Although those light-as-a-feather wooden cups below would be a close runner up. Click here to contact Morihata about purchasing (you can also visit their shop in Philadelphia and their online store) or to find a retailer near you that will be carrying these pieces soon. xo, grace

Wow, these are fantastic items. Big fan of the brass assortment especially.
Always one of my favorite booths at the fair! I want all the scissors they stock! Thanks for recognizing them.

those mugs are just perfect! thanks for sharing
I love the whale letter openers. I’d love to get one for my father’s birthday (we have a special father-daughter history with sperm whales), but alas, but as I live in Belgium, this might get a bit difficult :-(
The brass pieces are by Masanori Oji, an amazing designer — does this mean I can buy then stateside?
Are the knives only available in stores? I have a whale obsessed boyfriend we’re moving into a new apartment soon, and that would be the perfect housewarming gift.
oooh the wooden cups!
