Description

The fork has changed many times in its design but it was in the 18th century when the four ‘tines’ of the fork started to become a staple in design. It’s four prongs are designed to stop food slipping through on the way to the mouth and the slight curve makes it more efficient at this. Whilst trends have sometimes dicatated 2 and 3 prongs the Beauchief uses 4 prongs meaning its designed with not just aesthetics in mind but also functunality. Good design emphasizes the usefulness of a product whilst disregarding anything that could detract from it. We are all used to throw away designs, Beauchief was intended from the outset to give a lifetime use and to grow as a range and provide a modern classic. Back to purity. Back to simplicity.
