Spoon?




The spoon is one of the first tools we know of and it is therefore interesting to explore its functionality and the preconceptions of the iconic spoon.
The six dessertspoons, all designed with the same leaf, but with handles that vary from straight to various grades of bent, are challenging the functionality of the spoon and plays with the question of when a spoon is a spoon and when it becomes a non-functional object. To my joy, a lot of people have found it intriguing to eat with the most bent spoon. (Photo: Dorte Krogh)
