Sketchy, nearly childlike shapes are present in many pieces by Dutch designer Maarten Baas, as for this knife, fork, tablespoon and teaspoon designed for newborn Belgian design label valerie_objects.
Maarten Baas’ set is part of a larger cutlery collection created by international designers including Jinhyun Jeon (KR/NL), Muller Van Severen (B), Studio Simple (B/NL), Koichi Futatsumata (JPN) and Studio Wieki Somers (NL) for valerie_objects. All designers were asked to create the same thing: a prototype set of tools to eat with. The result is six totally quirky high-end luxury sets of cutlery that surprise and delight eyes, hands and mouth.
valerie_objects will be present next week in Milan with beautiful new pieces under the arches at Palazzo Litta, as a part of A Matter of Perception: Tradition and Technology, Palazzo Litta, Corso Magenta 24.
