继上次XYZ Integrated Architecture给gooood分享了很拉风的时尚大片系列家具60 Series之后，这次他们给大家带了同样很别致的设计，一套餐具，名叫Shamshir Cutlery ，可以理解为弯弧餐具—-这套餐具中无论刀叉勺子都是弯的，每个餐具单看是一个巧妙结合功能的弧，如果把一套餐具中的四个组件组合起来，还能形成一个圆满的环，与圆形的餐盘又形成一种巧妙的呼应。花点功夫立马就能灵活使用这套带有些许东方禅意的餐具。让人跃跃欲试。
非常感谢XYZ Integrated Architecture将以下内容授权gooood发行。
Appreciation towards XYZ Integrated Architecture for providing the following description:
毫无疑问，刀叉和碟子分属于两个不同的美学体系。它们不同的功能决定了其各自特殊的形态，两者毫无共同之处。碟子用来盛装食物，而刀叉则用来“消灭”食物。刀叉与碟子就如仓库与起重机，联系紧密却完全相同。
我们可以假设刀叉的线型来源于西方社会传统的刀剑形状，因为东方传统的弯曲状刀剑显然不是刀叉的“祖先”。然而，在我看来，弯曲的形状能更好地传达美学性和功能性—让起重机也可以拥抱仓库。
该系列刀具与传统刀叉的使用方式略有不同，需要特殊的技巧，不过只要拿出学习传统刀具的精力便可轻松掌握。
Problem
It’s a matter of fact that cutlery and dishware belong to two different esthetic families of tools. Because of their specific shape has been deriving from two different functionalities, they practically have nothing in common. Dish is designed to place food on, knife and fork to bring food from plate to mouth. They look at each other just alike warehouse and crane.
Inspiration
We can suppose that linear shape of cutlery stems from knifes and swords design of western traditions. On the other hand we see eastern traditions, pretty different, curved shaped knifes and swords. In our opinion this last option reaches a better esthetic and functional result: allows crane to embrace warehouse.
Skills
Using by-us-designed cutlery you require specific skills, it slightly differs from ordinary use of traditional cutlery, but it can be easily adopted. It requires same effort needed when you start learning how to use traditional cutlery.
