Flotspotting: Mia Schmallenbach's Nesting Knives

By Rain Noe - December 16, 2011

in Object Culture | Flotspotting

Where Cutlery and Russian Dolls Intersect: Belgium-based Coroflotter Mia Schmallenbach's Deglon Meeting Knife Set, which took first prize in this year's European Cutlery Design Awards, combines four knives into one nifty, nested form. And these are no mere concept, but are actually for sale on Amazon (though precision like this doesn't come cheap!).

Astute readers might remember seeing these—Dalìesque pomegranate and all—in Yves Béhar's gift picks for Nowness.

I would hate to have to access the smallest one... How do you get it out comfortably? Good but would have ben great with some recess for finger tips.

Thats more a beautiful piece of art than a practical solution. I would be a little afraid to dice onions with that!
