Ineke Hans has designed a range of clever serving pieces whose streamlined design speaks to their function for Dutch brand RoyalVKB.
The Fresh Bowl is a small perforated bowl and saucer perfect for storing dry food and wet fruit. The saucer can be used as a lid for the bowl or can be placed underneath it to serve as a drain for washed berries and other wet fruit. The item is made from melamine but the skin looks like cast iron.
Special Spoons are a neat set of helping hands for tapas and pickle consumption. Hans designed five spoons, each for a different use: a tiny spoon for chilli, horseradish and wasabi; a pointy fork for getting gherkins out of a jar; a perforated spoon for olives and small onions; a spoon for scooping mayonnaise from jars and for spreading tapenades; and a scoop for jams and chutneys. Each spoon has a little step on the back of the handle that allows the spoon to balance on the rim of jars to prevent it from sinking in.
