I, for one, am a fan of understated design elements -- the things that don't jump out, but get admired more by chance by people who notice details. And as far as I'm concerned this cutlery set designed by architect Zaha Hadid, with the fluid and unique design, is one of those items. Artistic yet surprisingly simple and functional, the two spoons are my favorites. They seem fun to use but in a sophisticated way -- reminding me of grown-up versions of the silly-straw, but without the cheap plastic and obnoxious colors.
The $250 set should be available starting this month, but with a very limited U.S. distribution.

This womans work is truly remarkable. She may be one of the starchitects but she constantly delivers in the most visionary of ways. Even down to the way she presents her concepts to clients, by using as seen from obove plans. This is an instant collectable for me and i'll be getting my hands on a couple of sets for sure.

On the contrary, those spoons really do not look very functional. Don't get me wrong, it is a very well designed novelty set, beautiful, but hardly practical for eating I would imagine.
Kind of reminds me of this inspirational poster about being unique:
