Unique Cutlery by Zaha Hadid

Filed under: Decor


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.

Seniora Fork Chair

Filed under: Decor

Ignacio Ruiz Gutierrez H. is only 20 years old and already seems to be heading towards something great if his fans are to be believed. His works show a lot of creativity and have a smoothness to them that makes each piece very pleasing to the eye. The Seniora Fork Chair is one that would make a fantastic set of dinner chairs, though the design does not yet seem to be available for that purpose as of yet. The chair is made of wood and is, essentially, a giant curved fork. It took 3rd place at the 2006 Andreu World International Design Competition, so as the designer gains recognition, we should start to see more of his works available for purchase.

Ribbon Project Cutlery

Filed under: Decor

These unique pieces are a new set of cutlery that are more about aesthetic than utility. The LA division of Apartment Therapy brings out attention to these pieces from the Ribbon Project. They are stainless steel, made by Makoto Yamaguchi and sell for around $15 each. I'd love to see video of someone trying to eat with these but they sure are pretty.
