Collection of unusual and creative tableware designs from around the world.
On/Off Mug
At first glance it’s simply a standard black mug with big white letters that say “OFF”. Nothing fancy, but once you add the hot beverage of your choice, the mug changes color to white and in big black letters it states: “ON”.
Stacked Cups
Stacked is comfortable in the hand and amusing to the eye. No matter how you grab it, it’s guaranteed to enliven your coffee break and perk up your pantry.
Rollercoaster Fruit Tray
Creative fruit tray by Janne Kyttanen can hold up to 9 oranges.
Outdoor Cutlery
Find the branch that is right for you, attach it to the desired tool and voila you have a fork, knife or spoon. Replace the branch whenever you feel like.
Tea Bag Coffin
With the “Tea bag Coffin”, the drinker can tidily bury the bag under the cup and out of the way. RIP.
Eva Solo Smiley Bowl
The Smiley bowl always smiles at its surroundings, and it is always ready to lend a helping hand to hold nuts, sweets or all the stuff that you carry around in your pockets.
Ceramic Noodle Cup
Why pollute the earth by throwing away Styrofoam cups when you can have your very own reusable ceramic Noodle Cup?
SmileCups
Creative SmileCups by Studio Psyho.
Drink Selector Mug
Tired of telling people how you like your tea or coffee? Twist rings to reveal your choice of drink and your milk and sugar preferences.
Fruit Loop Centerpiece
This innovative fruit bowl lets you bring the Ring Cycle to your own table.
Terrorist Teapot
Scary Tea Pot is a set including the tea pot and the balaclava tea cosy.
Small Apple Dish
By having an appropriate place in the dish, your fruit waste becomes an esthetic part of your meal.
My Cuppa Mug
My Cuppa helps you mix your drink to the perfect consistency, based on the color-coded guide inside. Options include everything from a straightforward “milky” to an extra-strong “builder’s brew”.
Edge Plate
Creative “half on half off” plate.
Log Bowls
Eco-Friendly Log Bowls by Doha Chebib.
Wrenchware Tableware
Wrench-handled knife, crescent-wrench spoon and ratchet fork. [buy]

Edge plate? Seriously? That’s dumb, unless you enjoy being covered in food.
The noodle cup is pretty cool though.

“Designed by Doha Chebib, these eco-friendly Log Bowls come in a large variety of colors and are handmade using only unwanted waste wood from storms, development, and re-landscaping.”
– That’s how.
Nice stuff.

They are all too clever. Mere cleverness is not good enough. They are no more than an excuse to market something to make a buck.——Doug

Sorry to spoil the party but you got the tool name wrong for every one of the Wrenchware. That’s a box wrench for the fork, pliers for the knife and an open-end (or spanner, depending on which side of the pond you are on) for the spoon.
It would be even nicer if the knife terminated in a screwdriver of some sort and all three were actually functional (fitting a standard size nut or screw).
An otherwise excellent post. I’m going to try following the bowl-in-a-log link because it looks like an interesting lathe project.

most of this stuff is neither practical, nor eco-friendly, nor useful. While some of it is nice “conceptual” stuff, things like the aplle core bowl are just ridiculous.
We need less stuff in the world!
