Using a fork on a fish never looked as good as it does on Cutlery Fish, a woven installation by designer Ian McChesney. Inspired by the children’s book Swimmy by Leo Lionni, the fish-shaped hanging sculpture consists of over 1,000 forks. From the street below, the shiny scaly figure appears to be swimming in the air without assistance, though the structure is really held together by very fine cables. Cutlery Fish is intended to mark the beginning of the food quarter of Regent Street in Central London.
