In this period I'm on a diet and everything seems to rotate around food, and since my attention can't concentrate upon what's in my plate, it moves a little aside, where it finds one of the most useful elements in the history of design: cutlery.
I have to say the world must be full of people on a diet who, just not to think about food, play with the table elements and create wonderful works of art!
Sayaka Ganz, an Indian artist, can put such a passion into simple objects to leave you breathless!
Cutlery has never been really loved along the past centuries, but rather considerated as an interesting table ornament; the real love at first sight broke out in the XIXth century during the Victorian Age, when cutlery pieces began to multiply until they arrived to the remarkable number of 146 different pieces.
Luckily they didn't survive up to the present days!

The funny thing about cutlery evolution is that sometimes you have a feeling you are going back to the dawning of appetite! Very interesting from the stylistic point of view and for people on a diet, but definitely little usable: some artistic experiments that leave you astonished indeed!
At present the focus is on knives: 8000 different types, without considering the different materials used for experimenting! A complete set is supposed to include: cutlery for dinner, for salad, fish, seafood, snails, meat, soup, tea, caviar, dessert, steak, cheese, serving cutlery etc.
Of course if you don't like such a glitter you can pass to something more sober and very classical: chiselled gold. On the website http://www.royalbuckingham.co.uk you can find the most classical of that kind!
The real wildlife and “made in wood” lovers in general couldn't be but dazzled by these cutlery sets all of wood!

Very lovely is the design revisiting of chiselled cutlery by Pandora
The line studied by Makoto Yamaguchi is really beautiful but not very practical.
My favorite ? Apart from the “bite” cutlery that reminds me the sense of hunger I'm feeling at the moment
I love Yamazaki's tiny fishes!!!!!
