If you love making yourself a nice afternoon tea on the weekend, you probably have a few favorite dessert spoons tucked away in your drawer. If you also can’t resist playful home accessories, the latest release from avant-garde South Korean tableware brand NUFLAAT might just catch your eye. Partnering with ELLA from the rookie K-pop girl group MEOVV, the brand has introduced a cutlery collection named “Cracker,” turning the familiar biscuit into a fun surprise for the dining table.
If NUFLAAT sounds unfamiliar, it is a homeware brand launched by Gentle Monster’s parent company, IICOMBINED Co., Ltd. Carrying forward the group’s signature surreal and minimalist aesthetic, NUFLAAT uses cool chrome to turn everyday items into futuristic art pieces. Teaming up with ELLA, who brings her own lively charm, strikes a perfect balance between cold metal and sweet playfulness.
Did someone take a bite out of this metal spoon?
The charm of the “Cracker” collection lies in its funny, contrasting details. The handles of the knife, fork, and spoon are shaped like square biscuits, complete with classic scalloped edges. Even better, an asymmetrical bite mark is carved into the edge of the polished metal. Capturing a warm, everyday image in cold materials breaks the rigid geometry of traditional cutlery, making them feel like fun little toys you can’t bear to eat.
A physical space in Seongsu-dong
If you prefer simple silhouettes but still want a touch of playfulness in your daily life, this cutlery set is a charming choice. The “Cracker” collection is currently available to view and purchase in person at HAUS NOWHERE Seoul, Gentle Monster’s multi-brand flagship in the city’s Seongsu-dong neighborhood. Next time you plan a trip to Seoul, consider adding it to your itinerary to see the humor of metal crackers firsthand.
