About Us
MoonSpoon® is designed by Jonathan and Julia Simons. Jonathan is an artist and furniture maker. He started making wood spoons back in the late 70’s and has designed them ever since. Today Jonathan is known as “Jonathan Spoons®”.
When Jonathan met his wife Julia, also an artist, they chose to put their design ideas together and make their own unique line of wooden spoons.
When MoonSpoon® began, the design was a simple carved “moon” on a spoon. They wanted to be certain their unique art concept of cutting wooden spoons with a laser could work and it did. As Jonathan and Julia continued experimenting over the years, the designs became more inspired and inventive.
“We Want To Evoke Profound Meaning With Our Creative Designs.”
The name “MoonSpoon®” evolved from their first moon design and the correspondent meaning of the moon. For Jonathan the moon represents the reflection of faith. Julia enjoys the consideration of uniting friendship while looking at the moon. “We can all see our moon as it rises and sets where-ever we live, and as a reminder that together we can ponder good thoughts and sweet dreams toward each other”.
MoonSpoon® means reflecting and sharing – and what could be more fun than sharing a Moon on a Spoon?
“We have designed collections of twelve patterns on about thirty five different utensils. All of our Spoons are made from solid Pennsylvania Cherry Wood, 100% natural, with no dyes, resins or polymers. Our spoons and other utensils are meticulously designed, cut and then carefully hand-shaped. We make each utensil with our own inventive wood cutting and sanding machines.”
Their most popular MoonSpoon® spoons are the little spoons, spreaders and tongs. Friends love to share them as a simple hostess gift. Together they have designed an exceptional product to share with friends and family. A favorite piece is the Tea Nest® – this makes a cozy cup of tea while sharing time with a special friend.
