Normally we start the week with some sort of conceptual design that isn’t available or in production. This design is available now for order and by Richard Hutten of Royal VKB (who do some amazing work).
It’s cutlery by Salvador Dali, it’s gorgeous and I don’t think you could afford it. It is six pieces (silver-gilt) comprising of two forks, two knives and two enameled spoons.Specifically and wonderfully named:
It sold for $28,125 US.

I’ve been looking for these for a long time, not sure why it took so long to find. First up though, these are not “Lego” brand but they are compatible. This lego cutlery set (lower case L) is a fork, knife and spoon that are half way between child and adult size (each piece is about size inches long). Good for kids in their lunch bags and great for adults for dessert at work. And if you have big hands, just add more legos to make the handle into whatever shape, size or construction you want. The flatware is stainless steel with handles that are made of silicone and the set is dishwasher safe.
Perfect for a restaurant or kitchen at home, there is something about displaying artwork based on kitchen cutlery that always seem to fit well. It fits better than a display of “antique” appliances in my humble opinion.
The framed canvas artwork is 37 1/2 X 12 X 3/4 and is an usual art piece in that it is vintage as opposed to modern in it’s depiction of cutlery. Written on the bottom is “Le Couteau”, “Le Fourchette”, and “Le Cuillère” which are the french words for the respective flatware items. It’s currently on sale at a great price and I recommend ordering while you can.
