Objects from No Impact Man

No Impact Man, one of my favorite bloggers on sustainability, recently shared an object that represents culture, sustainability and elegant design all in one. These types of objects provide experiences that specifically remind us of specific cultural decisions and influences, and bring us present with our actions. Not to mention this is a particularly beautiful set!

The one question I have about this object is how although the design is so appropriate for the function, the use is not particularly intuitive. Would it be possible to make this set more intuitive, or would you lose the simplicity of the design? I guess it would be intuitive to those who are raised in a culture that interact with this object.
