Borosilicate glass spoon by Maarten Baptist

Maarten Baptist always looks for logical and functional utensils that derive from the material or technology. These glass spoons are his latest result.

To craft an object, a glassblower starts with a Borosilicate glass tube. Maarten Baptist designed a series of spoons based on this technique. He asked the glassblower to blow a sphere at the end of a glass tube. After that, the object was cut in half alon
