I'm not certain how I missed this, but I only this moment came across Ferran Adria's tableware designs: http://www.facesdesign.com/indexf.html

Although I don't love all the ideas on the site, I do like seeing this sort of thinking; it's so easy to take for granted the objects we use every day, even if they're not necessarily ideal for our purposes.

Any thoughts on this, and have any of you ever had ideas for practical revamps of tableware, which might update or replace traditional designs?
