Armed with discarded knives, forks, but mostly spoons, a soldering iron, and a wicked sense of design, Canadian artist Francois Legault has created a line of fashion lamps dubbed, Kitchen Collection. Some of the work gives the impression of being woven, some seems to have bloomed in place. The repetition of shape, size, and shine are delightful. Legault’s ability to look beyond the material and create a collection that includes pieces that range from flowing organic to Star Trek Borg cube makes his work extra-special. Maybe it’s time to break out the soldering iron and go flatware hunting.  What Montreal lamp designer Francois Legault does with recycled flatware is quite marvelous. The idea of using them to fashion lamp shades sounds simple enough. The outcome, however, is not. Pieces in his Kitchen Collection trick the eye, as the utensils seem to have been intricately woven to create a somewhat futuristic flatware fabric. (Is it just me or does the cube look like the Borg starship?)
