Although there are plenty of [colorful flatware sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/extra-fork-collection) that are available in solid variations, [CB2](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cb2-collaborated) offers a dynamic [stainless steel design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caraway-kitchen-gadget) with a youthful, iridescent finish. The dishwasher-safe 3-Piece Beta Flatware Set consists of a knife, spoon and a fork that all have a "kaleidoscopic" look to them.

Alongside the 3-Piece Beta Flatware Set, CB2 also sells a more complete 12-Piece collection, as well as the Beta Pastry Server utensil to match.

Even though many young consumers invest in basic flatware utensils as necessary tools for eating, this special party-ready flatware set speaks to the interest Millennials have in creating photogenic entertaining spreads for friends and family. At the same time, the look of the flatware set reflects the of-the-moment appeal of unicorn-inspired, rainbow-hued products that remind of magical artifacts.
