Just because your parents (then your friends, and then your better half) tell you not to play with your food, doesn't mean you can't play with the tools with which you eat. Enter the Join cutlery set.
Designed by Konstantin Slawinski, the Join cutlery set is comprised of a spoon, fork and knife. Each utensil sports a notch so that they can join together in a teepee-like structure. According to Core 77, it is inspired by a Japanese toy.
