The Space Odyssey cutlery

Dinner in the future. Designed in 1957.

10/10
Sleeper Score

It is functional modernist tableware. Recognising the science-fiction connection takes a very particular dinner guest.

Arne Jacobsen’s spare, sculptural cutlery appeared in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The design still works as everyday tableware: no film logos, no replica stand, just a very deliberate place setting. Georg Jensen’s current 24-piece set brings that design family to a table for six; it is not a set used during filming.
