Four new stainless steel cutlery sets from iD/cutlery from Royal VKB were created by four designers with distinct aesthetic identities. Richard Hutten, Gijs Bakker, Ineke Hans and design duo Bow Wow (not to be confused with the American rapper) have collaborated with Royal VKB to create these elegant flatware sets.
All of the iD/cutlery from Royal VKB sets include chopsticks so that you can dine in either a Western or Asian style. The sets retail for between $60-$105. My favorite are the simple, reclined and balanced utensils from Gijs Bakker (they’re also the most expensive).
