Birds by Mermelade Estudio

Mermeladae Estudio is co-founded by Juan Miguel Juarez, Laura Blasco and Alex Estévez. Their projects aim to be distinctive, and are, at the same time, able to create a charming blend between individual character and neutrality and understatement. Their philosophy is to look for what is outstanding in everyday life -challenging the parameters of design, pushing the boundaries and trying to find new perspectives capable of drawing the right path toward the achievement of an extraordinary and innovative product design.

Symbol of this philosophy, “Birds” is a collection of six handmade knives inspired by birds. The family is composed by six different members: an hummingbird, a goose, a pelican, a toucan, an heron and a goldfinch. Each knife in the set has a bamboo handle, a stainless-steel blade screw with a graphite finish.

Their funny and playful shapes together with their ergonomy and functionality can be the perfect examples of the concept behind the Spanish studio Mermeladae, an outstanding series of products able to exploit design to give a new, lovely and unexpected form to a tool which is part of our daily life.
