The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum held an exhibition last year entitled "Feeding Desire: Design and the Tools of the Table, 1500 - 2005."

The exhibition website is very informative, you should check it out and here's a taste of what you might find:

Forks, knives, and spoons from a flatware set. Made by Claude Lalanne (b. 1925). France, 1966. Silver.

so cool!!
those photos are fantastic
thanks for posting them dos

i love how different they are...
it's nice to see "old" and romantic looking pieces when the focus is often on the new, sleek and ultra-modern look...

the utensils you posted have a lot of character and i like that..
beautiful!

Spudware..
cutlery made from 80% potato starch and 20% soy oil that’s just as heat resistant and every bit as strong as plastic cutlery....

To elaborate on one of your photos Strawb:

Zo-Loft, an Italian design group, turns office items into cutlery.

The cutlery series, called Din-Ink, exists of a set of pocket pen tops that turns into a knife, fork and spoon whenever you want.

All tops are made from renewable resources, like natural starch and fibres, which are 100% biodegradable, non toxic and hygienic.

Together with the compostable wrapping, the whole dining set is designed to be environment-friendly.

^love this idea very much
though i wonder about safety
the possibility of the ink seeping through

just the idea of eating something you work with

what does it mean by hygienic... it cleans itself...?
