Flatware, GS Army Flatware, Source Material, and Prototypes
This is a Flatware. It was designed by Constantin Boym, Laurene Leon Boym and Boym Partners and manufactured by Gourmet Settings.
This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Boym Partners as part of Beautiful Users.
The design for GS Army is inspired by cheap flatware purchased at an army surplus store. The designers were attracted to the simple, utilitarian pieces stamped out of thin metal. GS Army’s raised lip makes subtle reference to military mess kits while providing an elegant, tactile frame around the handle of each piece.
It is credited Courtesy of the designers.
