This is from the design program d-Vision and is a wonderful concept. And sadly it currently is only a concept and not for sale.
The idea of interchanging handles could be so much fun and actually be a great camping cutlery set for portability.
Please check out their page for more info on the designer and the program.
This is beautiful work, I’ll let the artist speak:
“A set of cutlery that embodies my personal conclusions of shape and form.
Achieved by the graphical two-dimensional shape of the top surface that allows the fluid three-dimensional form to hang from. While contrasting each other they ultimately find a complimenting balance as they influence one another.
Finished in sterling silver and Zirconia (technical ceramic) they relate to traditional tableware such as fine china and silverware.”
It is price on request because of limited production. He is looking for a producer/manufacture to be able to bring this product to the public.
Mark A. Reigelman II has created this Bite silverware as part of a design competition. From what research I’ve done, it never went into public production. But it is a gorgeous design either way that has a strong message.
In the designer’s own words:
‘as a global culture, it is our duty to be concerned with worldwide epidemics such as starvation and obesity. each day millions of individuals lay in hunger while millions more
are wastefully overeating. this set of ‘bitten’ silverware highlights the daunting reality of both worldly plagues.’
The folks over at Mashable.com have a great article about exercise cutlery that is basically dumbbells attached to your fork, knife and spoon. Their picture caught my eye because of the Full English Breakfast.
The knife and fork are 1kg and the desert spoon is 2kg because you need the extra work out when eating all that sugar I guess.
It’s a silly idea, not very practical and a little expense for a unique handmade product. But if someone you know is a fitness buff (or should be) it would be a great gift.
