[Gold] International Design Award, Design for Society / Design for Public Awareness

[Silver] International Design Award, Design for Society / Design for Sustainability

"Disposable chopsticks are wasteful," Oscar explains, "but everlasting ones are hard to keep in pairs." His Ambi set, which pairs durable, wenge chopsticks with a leaf-shaped silicone holder, seeks to solve that problem. As a bonus, the holder—which comes in two shades of green, yellow and red—doubles as a tabletop place setting for the sticks. You can buy your own set at the MoMA Design Store.

Congrats Oscar!
