"started to work with empty bottles trying to extract shapes similar to cutlery, to finally achieve a salad set that comes out from flat single surfaces and that come in shape in a simple way and becomes elegant and beautiful."
and out of a flat sheet he forms these marvelous utensils. We love this kind of thing because soon we will be able to download designs like this and build them in our homes.
According to Core77, the design has recently been picked up by Milan-based disposable/sustainable cutlery and table accessories company Pandora Design. ::JC Karich

I guess it's interesting, but "marvelous" isn't really a word I would use for a spoon that doesn't hold liquid.
Eat some soup with that spoon and let us know if you still think it's "marvelous."
If we needed any more proof that "green is the new black"...
Yeah, I'm not sure what use the spoon would be. This doesn't look like it would run through the dishwasher (and normal plastic ones can be reused very easily because of that fact.) I'm not sure how comfortable they would be to hold, or strong.
And they're still made of plastic, right? the only cool innovation I see here is in shipping them and storing them I guess.
