Probably the most innovative light design I have seen that uses cutlery is the Clive Roddy 'Spoon Lamp,' which is a [pine cone-shaped light](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lapso) that has been designed and built using 115 dessert spoons. The next time one is asked to prepare the dinner table, it might not be such a drag to do so if the cutlery could be used in more ways than one.

The Clive Roddy 'Spoon Lamp' is not shaped like a pine cone by accident; the look was inspired by [large pine cones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-inspired-pendant-light) that were fount in Yosemite National Park, California. The stand upon which the lamp portion rests is made of three long, spindly legs that are almost completely made of [solid oak](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-lamp). The contrast of silverware upon wood gives the Spoon Lamp an exquisite appeal and I would not be surprised to find this product lighting up most modern restaurants in the near future.
