A sense of humor is what helps us survive in this crazy stressful world. Without him today, nothing! This is once again proved by the comedy designers from the Meredith Host studio, who created the series kitchen utensils with the title "Bone Appetit!" It is impossible to use such dishes without a sense of humor!
Bones in our time are practically not perceived as something creepy anymore. They are no longer a symbol of death, having become a full-fledged, independent image that artists use for their various purposes. Examples include Churchyard Line bone jewelry by Columbine Phoenix, Vertebrata series of bone photo manipulations by Marc Da Cunha Lopes, Swarovski crystal skeleton by Nicola Bolla, cartoon skeletons by Hyunha Hyungkoo Lee and the Stop Violence poster series by Francois Robert. So the American design studio Meredith Host decided to play some dice.
Rather, she decided to play a little with homonymy (recall that homonyms are words that are spelled the same, but have different meanings). Namely, with homonymy in the spelling of the word "bone", which in different languages can mean both "good" and "bone". That is why the name of the series of cookware "Bone Appetit!" can be translated as "Bon appetit!", and as "Bone appetite!"
Cookware set "Bone Appetit!" consists of eight plates (four deep and four flat), on which human bones are painted as an ornament. Moreover, they are drawn not schematic images of them, but quite detailed, correct from an anatomical point of view.
In particular, these plates depict a human skull, hand, pelvis and chest. On each of the plates, as if in a mockery, the inscription "Bone Appetit!" And you need to have a decent sense of humor, as well as be a completely unimpressive person, so that the appetite when eating from such kitchen utensils is really good!
There is a set of kitchen utensils "Bone Appetit!" from Meredith Host Studio $ 17 if you live in the US, and $ 55 if you live outside of that country.

Glasses have come a long way before getting their modern look. The first devices for improving human vision - bone plates with narrow slits or a curved piece of rock crystal - and glasses, you can't call it, but still they became a good help for a person of the past, allowing you to see more and more clearly. And the glasses themselves owe their birth primarily to the Catholic Church
Adel Abdessemed invented the bicycle. Camel bone
Contrary to popular advice, contemporary artists never stop reinventing the wheel over and over again.
