Clamping Cutlery

The Magic Spoon by Ivan Erkic Has a Cling-On Design

The Magic Spoon by Ivan Erkic is exactly the kind of cutlery set I need in my kitchen.

As a caffeine addict, I love to wake up to a warm cup of joe. Alongside biscuits or a bagel, my morning breakfast is a delight but placing everything on a cup and saucer makes things incredibly wobbly and I never fail to drop something. With the Magic Spoon, this nifty tool is clamped securely to the glassware. There are also matching forks and knives that grip on to plates for clumsy eaters like me.

The multi-functional Magic Spoon can also be used to seal food packages that require a utensil so you'll never have to reach into the cutlery drawer because it's readily on-hand. The Magic Spoon won the 2010 Kitchen Tools award by ICDesign, as it should for its clever cutlery design.
