Arne Jacobsen Flatware, 1957

From the MoMA website (also where I stole the photo):

A minimalist classic, this flatware represents the essence of the Danish modern style and has been in continuous production since it was first designed. Used as the flatware of the crew in Stanley Kubrick's film, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY, the futuristic-looking set is sleek, with the handles only slightly differentiated, and the knife blade indicated by only a subtle indentation. The five-piece place setting and two serving pieces are made of matte-finish 18/8 stainless steel by Georg Jensen.
