Yamazaki Float 20-Piece Flatware Set – Hygienic Cutlery

Yamazaki Float FlatwareI really like this idea, because what I really don’t like is setting soiled cutlery down on the clean tablecloth. Or setting clean flatware down on a dirty table.  The Float Flatware set by Yamazaki has an interesting design. Look at this:

What they have done is added extra metal as a triangular ridge on the bottom face of the handle. The result is that when you set it on the table the top end of the fork, knife or spoon is suspended in  the air above the table. In short, it “Floats”. Made of dishwasher safe 18/8 stainless steel it also adds some extra heft to the cutlery. Very nice design and a nice set of flatware.

Riccardo Randi Wood and Plastic Disposable Cutlery

riccardorandi-wood-plastic-cutleryRiccardo Randi is a material designer with some pretty good ideas. While working on the branding for a restaurant in Italy he went looking for nice disposable cutlery and couldn’t find anything he liked. He wanted wood but that left a bad taste in the mouth so he combined both wood and plastic in these hand made prototypes. They aren’t commercially available yet but certainly are a great idea for disposable cutlery with a better heft and use.

Our friends over at Design Boom have a nice article and a lot more pictures of this unique wood and plastic cutlery.

Stainless Steel Sugar Skull Tea Spoon

Skull Sugar Spoon

I’ve been watching this product come together since it was announced as a Kickstarter project and now it’s available for public sale.

This cunning cutlery is a stainless steel teaspoon that is shaped as a skull. It means you might need 3 instead of 2 spoons of sugar for your tea, but it is all about form not function. It measures 15 x 3.2 x 1.4 cm and I’d suggest you get two as someone will certainly steal your first one.

The Chork – Chopsticks and a Fork in one

ChorkDoes this product full under the category of Spork? It’s hard to say but it sure looks like a fun piece of multipurpose cutlery.

The Chork is a clever mix of chopsticks and a fork into one piece of flatware. It’s a disposable flatware product made of food grade high impact polystyrene that I would hope to see in my takeout from my favorite Asian restaurant. I’m pretty good at eating with chopsticks but serving food from the container to my plate has always been a problem and that fork would be handy.

Chork

It can be used as a fork, as cheater connected squeezable chopsticks, and snapped apart for regular chopsticks.  Available in 6, 12 & 24 packs.
