- In this cutlery set Andreas Fabian set out to express the essential purpose of cutlery by combining philosophy, use, and aesthetics. To achieve this he made many prototypes, continuously revising the design until he felt happy with the proportions, weight, and functionality of the set. He has continued to develop this approach throughout his career and in 2011 completed his PhD on ‘Spoons and Spoonness’ at Brunel University.
