[Chilmong] Premium Ottchil Chopstick Set - Wave Collection
K-Ribbon Award Winner
[Chilmong] Premium Ottchil Chopstick Set - Wave Collection
Introducing one of Chilmong's finest chopstick collections, The Wave Collection.
Inspired by Korea's Eastern Coastline, this collection captures the breathtaking dusk scene when the sun's last rays glisten on the waves, showcasing a vibrant array of colors.
Each set in this premium collection includes a spoon and a pair of chopsticks. What sets this collection apart is the meticulous craftsmanship.
Every piece is meticulously lacquered with 15 layers of Premium* Korean Ottchil, surpassing the regular 9-layer coating.
Attention: This top-tier set of chopsticks features an ottchil coating infused with a significant amount of premium Wonju Ottchil, boasting a concentration of 70%. In contrast, our regular chopstick set is coated with Ottchil containing just 10% Wonju Ottchil.
To achieve a radiant sheen, the artisan diligently rubs the utensils by hand, using an abrasive sponge, after every three coatings. This process is repeated three times, resulting in a glossy finish that can be seen in the product images below.
Ottchil is more than just a coating; it's a form of living and functional art.
Through Ottchil, wooden items become exceptionally durable, impervious to rot and deterioration. Furthermore, Ottchil imparts an antibacterial surface, preventing the growth and spread of bacteria.
The premier chopstick collection is available in five captivating colors: Strong Red Wave, Sunset Yellow Wave, Deep Green Wave, Healing Blue Wave, and Majestic Purple Wave. Each set is elegantly presented in a sturdy, magnetic case, adding a touch of luxury.
(Note: Product images below showcase the stunning glossy sheen of the chopsticks in this collection.)

Coated with Korea's Highest-Quality Ottchil Lacquer
The spoon and chopsticks are coated with 9 layers of Ottchil Sap (from Wonju Ottchil Trees)
Wonju Ottchil Trees are known for producing the highest-quality sap for Ottchil lacquer
When the surface of Ottchil Trees are scratched, the tree releases sap
This sap is carefully collected and skillfully refined for use as lacquer
The coating process, in which layers of lacquer must be repeatedly applied and left to dry, requires great patience
Producing lacquerware is a notoriously prolonged and labor-intensive process, which has sometimes been called the “art of time”
15 Layers of Premium Ottchil Lacquer
Each piece in this premier collection is skillfully coated with 9 layers of Ottchil
In certain areas of the cutlery, additional 6 layers are applied for extra durability

Why Wonju Ottchil?
Wonju Ottchil Trees contain the highest amounts of Urushiol, a natural oily compound
The higher the concentration of Urushiol, the higher the quality ↑
In one year, Wonju Trees produce only 80-120kg of Sap - limited supply makes it an expensive material
