illusion spoon/fork

illusion spoon/fork by kyoungbum yoo from korea

designer's own words:

Looks don't mean everything.

Low tech design is always hard. Usually the form has to be related with the function closely and it gives a lot of restrictions leaving the designer to become a mere stylist in some cases. I tried to use that fact backwards by giving the spoon & fork silverware set a twist putting a mask around the margins.

The transparent poly carbonate outer margin is the real function while the silver part inside becomes the illusion. Without careful examination the user may use the illusion spoon as a fork or vice versa.
