They may not be the most useful designs, but there is a seed of functionality and spark of inspiration behind this tableware concept.

$infinity fractal fork spoon$

The Infinity Set includes: “Cantor fork :: now you can pin a single kiwi seed. Twice in a row. Recursive spoon :: it will never let you spill a drop of soup. Ever. Koch knife :: to delicately cut hair-thin slices out of an egg. A raw egg. The Infinity Set :: the set includes itself. As a subset.”

They boast “limited quantities” but “unlimited price” as a bit of a play of sets, series and the fact that this is simply an idea, or perhaps a proof of sorts (at least of concept).
