Have you heard of new Antwerp-based design label valerie objects? Made up of Axel Van Den Bossche, Frank Lambert and art director Veerle Wenes, valerie objects shapes its collection by working with designers, architects and artists with the aim of translating the signature works of these creative minds into tangible objects. ‘Pride of place with always go to authentic thinkers, to pieces that have been carefully thought about, designed and fashioned by intelligent hands,’ they say.
One such piece of work is the Cutlery Project, a collection of knives, spoons and forks designed by Netherlands-based Jinhjyun Jeon, Maarten Baas, Studio Simple and Studio Wieki Somers; Belgian designer Muller van Severen (above) and Japanese designer Koichi Futatsumata. The result is six quirky sets of cutlery that surprise and delight. Which is your favourite?
