Oneida Moda 65-Piece Flatware Set

Oneida Moda 65-Piece Flatware SetOneida’s Moda cutlery set has a classic flat bottom to the handle that gives you such a sense of “solid”. It’s a flatware set that feels like it is made to be thrown around and abused, I mean that in the nicest way of course.

Made of 18/10 stainless steel the shiny surface holds up to abuse and may occasionally show rust spots if placed next to carbon steel in your dishwasher but a little Coca-Cola or vinegar will clean that up real quick.

This 65-piece set consists of 12 teaspoons, 12 table spoons, 12 knives, 12 forks, 12 salad forks, a butter knife, serving spoon, sugar spoon, pierced serving spoon, and a serving fork.

This cutlery set is what I would consider a “buy it for life” investment.

“The Uncomfortable” by Katerina Kamprani. Inconvenient Cutlery.

These two forks and spoon are not very useful flatware. And that is on purpose.

Artist Katerina Kamprani has created a series of sculptures called “The Uncomfortable”. Not all of them are cutlery related, but these three are.

Her intent is to make useful objects no longer useful. This “anti-functional” design wins the “form over function’ argument that is for certain.

Just think what it takes to make an object useful, the effort of the design and function. Now think what it takes to reverse that.

Specific Cutlery by Lee Ben David

cutlery_by_lee_ben_david_dezeenIsraeli designer Lee Ben David has created cutlery that is considered specific to the point that it’s unnecessary.

She states she discovered an “absurd” amount of variation in the cutlery used in formal dining, such as a knife designated only to fish dishes.

“I’ve decided to demonstrate the extreme situation we’ve gotten into, using my ‘very specific’ cutlery set,” she said.

You’ve got to check out the amazing collection of specific cutlery she has created like the three-pronged cherry tomatoe tool, pitta bread knife, spaghetti fork, and salad fork.
