Cutlery by Nendo

Informally dubbed “Skeleton,” Japanese designer Oki Sato creates a place setting—knife, fork, spoon and coffee spoon—with an off-kilter kink where the handle joins the head. Better-known by his creative moniker Nendo, he reduces each form to a minimalist outline much like an X-ray, limiting the raw material used while still retaining the utensil’s functionality. From Belgian brand Valerie  Objects, the pieces can also be handily hooked over the edge of a plate or the rim of the cup and come in either stainless steel or a black PVD coating.
