Bamboo forks and picks for snacks and cocktails

bamboo snack and cocktail forksAh…summer. Ah…the heat. Ah…the fancy drinks. Ah…the snacks.

Patio snacks and fancy cocktails are not complete without that extra flair. These bamboo forks are perfect for appetizers and made of environmental friendly bamboo. And the cute little knotted picks in a cocktail will remind you of that last trip to Mexico (well it does me anyways).

There are one hundred 3.5″ mini forks and three hundred knotted picks consisting 100 of each of 3.1″, 3.5″, 4.7″ sizes.

Please don’t be the person that uses toothpicks instead. I swear to you twice now I’ve been served appetizers on mint flavored toothpicks. The second time it happened I had just made a joke about the first time only to discover to the hosts dismay that she just made the same mistake!

Westiental Cutlery – Knifes, Fork and Chopsticks mixed together

Westiental-Cutlery-by-Wen-Jing-LaiWhile researching the “hybrid chopsticks” for our last post I came across this student’s concept work. This “Westiental” (a mix of West and Oriental) cutlery has a great look but I’m not too sure about the functionality. 

A quote from Kingston University graduate Wen Jing Lai: “”I first created a fork with the traditional metal handle, but replaced the teeth with bamboo – a material that is often used to produce chopsticks, this led to a series of cutlery that has been merged in terms of material, form and function in order to express this phenomenon.”

Interesting work, not in production or for sale. But interesting and inspiring none the less.

iD Cutlery by Richard Hutten

id cutlery by richard huttenNormally 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).

This one person set of very stylish cutlery consists of 5 pieces: a storage box, chopsticks, knife, fork, dinner and dessert spoon. Made from dishwasher safe 18/10 stainless steel.
This is high end cutlery for high end dining.
