Root

Cutlery 
Root is a silver cutlery series consisting of a spoon, a fork and a knife. It deals with contradictions: the form is inspired by traditional wooden cutlery while the silver as a material is associated to fine dining. It is an attempt to bring a homey feeling to luxury items. Instead of creating a universal hotel object I wanted to introduce cutlery with a personal and strong Finnish identity
