Cheese knife Red Bakelite handle “Jojo Long Legs” Designed by Starck
Designed by Philippe Starck for Forge de Laguiole, this striking cheese knife was showcased at the Seville World Fair, where Forge de Laguiole received the European Design Prize.
Its handle is crafted from Bakelite, one of the world's first synthetic plastics, prized since the early 20th century for its strength, heat resistance and smooth, sleek finish. Once known as "the material of a thousand uses," Bakelite brings a rich design history to this playful, precision blade, perfect for soft and semi-soft cheeses.
A collectible piece that blends modern style with craftsmanship, and a wonderful talking point for any cheese board.
Philippe Starck is a world-renowned French designer, celebrated for his groundbreaking work on projects like the iconic Ghost chair and the interior design of the Hôtel Parister. His collaboration with Forge de Laguiole brought a bold, minimalist style to the brand, merging modern design with the heritage of traditional French craftsmanship.
