forknelt by paolo emilio bellisario from italy
designer's own words:
An eating implement used since long times, has been evaluated from its old shape and updated by the needs of the “user experience”.
Looking trough an old silver fork we pointed its main qualities: made with less material and so more light; not affected, apart from an old style soft print; longer prong more useful with food.
Thanks to an easy gesture, providing a bend in the haft of the “ForKnelt”, it prevents soiling when placed on the table cloth and slipping from the edge of the plate. At the same time the bend doesn’t stop stacking when put back in the drawer.
By an easy and economics work, just using steel molds to give the silver foil the desired shape; made by recycled Sterling silver, recovered from silver scraps, “Forknelt” is designed to be environment friendly since its production.
Then, are you ready to use it on your daily lunch ?
