Men who prefer to be a little rough around the edges eat with Martina Carpelan's 'For Men with Hammers' utensils.
The talented artist created the 'For Men with Hammers' set for the man who likes to just dig in and eat without going through the fuss of table manners. Each of the knives and forks you see has been given a bold treatment with the aesthetic of tools as a reflection of the hard-working man who works with his hands. Although the inspiration comes from the boys of the rough, rugged kind, the sterling silver gives it more of a high-end personality.
Martina Carpelan's 'For Men with Hammers' series definitely changes up the game of formal dining utensils. It's rough and even a bit gritty, but she still manages to give it a bit of class.
