Wooden Cutlery Just Got an Upgrade, Courtesy of Jasper Morrison
Purveyor of the pared-back Jasper Morrison has brought his minimalist eye to a set of cutlery crafted from Japanese cherry wood. Designed for the French silverware brand Puiforcat, the 'Jersey' collection comprises a fork, knife, spoon, serving cutlery, and a pair of chopsticks. Each piece has been glazed with an ultra-fine coat of Japanese lacquer, which highlights the textures and patterns of the wood's grain. 'This method allows the embellished wood to breathe while protecting the pieces with a fine yet solid antibacterial film,' the brand adds. The design of the set is stripped back and humble, with Morrison wanting the material to be the focus of attention. It is typical of his so-called 'Super Normal' approach, which he described as being a reaction to the fact that the design world had 'forgotten its roots and the basic notion that we designers are supposed to take care of the man-made environment and try to improve it'. 'Super Normal is a bridge between the two worlds, an attempt to reunite them,' hecontinues. The use of wood marks a departure for the collections of the luxury brand, which was founded in 1820 by Emile and Joseph-Marie Puiforcat. The initial idea behind the collection was to develop something that would accompany a set of serving pieces designed by Donald Judd, named 'Dinner Service'. Jersey is available to purchase now, with buying information available via the Puiforcat website.

Solid Homme SS26 Is Simple, Playful, and "Super Normal"
Summary Solid Hommeis embracing the everyday for its Spring/Summer 2026 collection. Shown in Paris earlier in the week, DesignerWoo Young Mi's latest seasonal range – entitled 'Super Normal' – seeks to spotlight the striking in the mundane, the beauty in the boring, taking tried-and-true daily staples to The pastel-hued presentation features shades of blue, green and yellow, and leans into different patterning of stripes and plaids. Sportswear comingles with more sophisticated tailoring, rugby shirts layered atop Oxford button-downs. Checkered shorts are paired with patterned blazers and overshirts, while loose-fiting trousers surface in hues of gray, black, and brown. 'The collection proliferates on the notion of elevating the seemingly mundane; objects – a coffee pot, an iron, a bottle opener, headphones – are transformed into keepsakes, reimagined as leather charms,' read the collection's show notes. 'Firmly placed in the ordinary, Spring/Summer 2026 sees its characters perform everyday tasks, reminding us that this is not a story of excess but of intention. A quiet reverence for the overlooked. A proposal that the most enduring expressions of self may be found not in grand gestures, but in what we choose to carry with us.' Take a closer look at Solid Homme's Spring/Summer 2026 'Super Normal' in the runway above and stay tuned to Hypebeast for continuing coverage of Paris Fashion Week.
