Why then are objects like these so highly promoted and loved by dezeeners? Is dezeen providing their readers with an insightful and critical design magazine? Or are they continuing the mainstream trend of peddling more and more useless and expensive gadgets.

For those of us who actually care for sound design publishing and actually breakthrough design practices, it might be worth looking at dezeen's mission statement: "to bring you a carefully edited selection of the best architecture, design and interiors projects from around the world before anyone else."

Carefully edited selection of the best… design. I think not!

ceramic knifes are extremely sharp but even more so brittle… this is impractical and definitely not breakthrough. you will NEVER see these in professional kitchen, but maybe for the home foodie who has the money to spend on another gadget to join the other “breakthrough” gadgets in the bottom cabinet

the same colour of the blade/handle will definitely be disastrous in my kitchen..

Haven’t got a chance to use a ceramic knife. however, Karim Rashid did came out with a ceramic craft knife that claims to cut just as well as a metal blade.

I like the form and the idea.

Hello This is Morgan,

Elef, yes, well spotted. I believe that that diagram was the preliminary research for the later project.
