30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASEVirgil Abloh had a particular fondness for tools: their honest proportions, their tactile logic, the fact that the form always grows out of a function. He carried that into everything he designed. Conversational Objects is his interpretation of cutlery, shaped as though the spanner and the dining room had finally decided to meet.
The handles of VA02S4 refer directly to garage tools. Matt-polished 18/10 stainless steel, a substantial presence in the hand without feeling heavy, a surface that does not reflect the light but meets the skin in a specific, immediate way. The set contains four pieces: tablespoon, table fork, table knife and coffee spoon. One place setting.
Abloh, founder of Off-White and artistic director of Louis Vuitton menswear until his death in 2021, described Conversational Objects as toolsets for the dining table. The collection was presented posthumously during Milan Design Week in 2023. It is cutlery designed to start a conversation before the food has even been served.
Buy four sets for a full dinner party. Add VA02 SET if you want the holder as well.
