silspoon myth

silspoon myth by pablo matteoda from argentina

designer's own words:

Folk wisdom has it that putting the handle of a silver spoon down the neck of a sparkling wine bottle will keep the liquid effervescent. It´s a mith! but this project pretends to give this believers a hope, and not trying to put limits to their beliefs.
Most of experiments says that a silver spoon is irrelevant, and what does help it´s refrigeration and a stopper for prevent absorbing fridge odors.
People adopted this piece of silverware and modified its functionality, based on the myth. The fact is that they got used to do it, maybe they love the combination of the materials and forms, or they enjoy adding new functionality to some objects, or just believe!
