Experimental Hybrid Cutlery

Steinbeisser's Playful Forks and Spoons To Alter the Eating Experience

— September 15, 2016 — Art & Design
Steinbeisser is known for creating unconventional eating utensils and the recent hybrid design that incorporates forks and spoons into one tool provides a modern twist to the eating experience. The design doesn't combine the functionality of either utensil, but instead provides a dual structure that features both in one.

The utensil project is known as the Steinbeisser's Experimental Gastronomy and it features an alternative way to look at food through a playful lens. The collection features experimental designs and a vegan menu that utilizes plant-based foods. Guests partaking in the food tasting are to sample the dishes using unconventional utensils such as a spoon and fork fastened on a set of pliers or a fork with an extending spoon prong.
