Air France’s New Cutlery Assembles Into a Model Airplane

1

Few things are worse than being bored on a long flight. Now, Air France is trying to change that by redesigning flatware that comes with their in-flight meals.  Now, instead of throwing away your plastic cutlery, you can turn it into a plane instead! Eugeni Quitllet, an industrial designer, designed the set, which includes a knife, spoon, fork, and a set of wings.  You can expect to see the new utensils sometime this month. And (bonus points for environmental health!) the redesign will actually help reduce Air France’s raw material use by 30%.
