Ontwerp voor een lepel en een vork c. 1874 - 1932

This design for a spoon and fork by Dutch architect Mathieu Lauweriks, created between 1874 and 1932, exemplifies the geometric and functional aesthetic of the Art Nouveau movement. The simple yet elegant lines of the silverware are drawn on graph paper, highlighting the precise and deliberate approach to design during this period. Lauweriks, known for his work in architecture and furniture design, sought to integrate form and function, reflecting the influence of the Arts and Crafts movement and its emphasis on handcrafted objects. This design, with its clean lines and attention to detail, exemplifies Lauweriks' commitment to both functionality and beauty.
