Shape/Form | ||
| | Designed by: Lukas Peet Why we love it: Elaborating a single plane into the organic sweeps of these pieces plays on the perception of two-dimensions while allowing the mass of each to hang below it. Coupled with the combination of slver finish for the spoon and fork and Zirconia for the knife this makes Shape/Form a captivating set of cutlery. Where you can get it: Lukas Peet Design | |
