The Pebble
Bring-your-own cutlery set during Covid-19
The Pebble is a bring-your-own cutlery set for the coronavirus pandemic made from recycled CDs by design studio Pentatonic in collaboration with singer Pharrell Williams' creative brand I Am Other.
The kit comprises of a knife, a fork, a spoon, a straw and a set of chopsticks that fold away inside a smooth case that can be easily carried.
Pentatonic created The Pebble as an alternative to single-use plastic cutlery, which has seen a surge in popularity during the pandemic.
To reduce the risk of transmission, many businesses have temporarily stopped using reusable cups and cutlery. Governments have also urged people to bring their own utensils when eating outdoors with people outside their households.
The Pebble is the first item in Otherware, a collaboration between Pentatonic – a studio specialising in objects for the circular economy – and creative brand I Am Other.
