A Little Manufactured Desire

www.juke.press

Manufactured Desire is a regular feature in which I don’t buy the crazy shit I find for sale on the internet.


All non-incredulous text is courtesy of the Christofle Paris website…

So shiny, so smooth and so French and eggy and…

“Designed for one's informal dining moments, MOOD Party by Christofle is a set featuring cutlery for 6 people for life's sweet & savory moments…”

Surprise your dinner guests with silverware! In an egg! Reflecting endlessly upon itself… which they might think is just, like, a little too spot-on, honestly.

“The set includes the following:

6 butter knives
6 small spoons
6 appetizer/dessert forks
6 silver-plated cocktail picks
1 storage capsule (!)

The egg-shaped storage capsule is made of a mirror-polished steel with a walnut base interior.”

For life’s informal moments, in which one’s silverware storage capsule oversees an assortment of silverware-agnostic foods (Possibly not carbon-based foods? Seriously, wtf is that black-peeled thing? And where are the crackers?)

             "Christofle shakes up the art of entertaining  
with a new concept    
                                           that reflects the current zeitgeist.    

                          MOOD Party by Christofle,  
       with its avant-garde vision of convenience and comfort,     
                       invites itself to all tables     
                                                                     as a promise of sharing    
                                                                                                                     and memories"

(The line formatting above is mine. I couldn’t help it.)

The current zeitgeist called. This is how we do forks now.
