Brew Cutlery: A Knife, Spoon and Fork With Included Bottle Opener

brew-cutlery

Real world problem… You’re in the middle of your meal, and you need to open another beer. Sure, you could stop what you’re doing and find the bottle opener, but that would just cut into your eating time.

Brew Cutlery is here to help, with a set of cutlery that includes a handy bottle opener on the end. Whether you’re in the middle of scooping, impaling or cutting your food — you only have to flip your cutlery around to pop open a beer. Problem solved.

The utensils are a minimalist design of 18/10 stainless steel. Currently in Kickstarter mode, you can visit the site and check it out.

Utensil Set Packaged Like A Toy Model Kit

Products-by-Ineke-Hans-for-RoyalVKB_dezeen_6

 

Remember the fun and glue high you had when assembling plastic toy models? Now, you can have at least half the fun with Special Spoons by Dutch designer Ineke Hans.

Assembled like a set of plastic toy model parts, the utensils can be removed from their holder and used to scoop up, stab, or spread your favorite foodstuffs. Have a good tube of airplane glue handy during lunch for the full effect.

Biodegradable Vegetable Utensils

graft-1

To help bring attention to the idea of using plant-based materials to make everyday items, product designer Qiyun Deng created Graft. The series includes tableware that resembles various vegetables — acting as a reminder that you’re using a biodegradable utensil made from plants.

Although the series is only a concept, created for Deng’s diploma project, Graft may receive enough attention to get it into mass production.

However, we’re going to need some sort of spork included. May I suggest it resemble a fig, and we call it a “fork?” I’m open to suggestions. See more here.

The Edible Spoon

Presentation_Image2

Plastic spoons… They’re used quickly, then discarded, only to spend the next several decades trying to decompose in some landfill. The Edible Spoon is here to help, with a neat little scooping utensil that’s 100% biodegradable and 100% edible.

Brought to us by Triangle Tree, the spoons are made mostly of organic corn and flour, and available in three flavors: Plain, Spicy and Sweet. Great… But there’s a missed opportunity here to save some forks. Bring on the edible sporks!
