Bakelite is a classic and durable material used for the handle of the Philippe Starck cheese knife “Jojo Longlegs” from Forge de Laguiole. Known as one of the first synthetic plastics, Bakelite was invented in the early 20th century and quickly became a revolutionary material due to its strength, heat resistance, and versatility. Made from phenolic resin, Bakelite is a hard, dense material that offers excellent durability and a smooth, sleek finish.
A fun fact about Bakelite is that it was once referred to as "the material of a thousand uses" because of its application in everything from electrical insulators to jewellery, radios, and even car parts. The use of Bakelite in the Philippe Starck cheese knife blends a modern aesthetic with a rich history, offering a stylish, durable, and practical option for cheese lovers.
The "Jojo Long Legs" Cheese Knife from Forge de Laguiole, designed by the renowned Philippe Starck, is a true masterpiece. This Laguiole cheese knife was showcased at the Seville World Fair, where Forge de Laguiole was honoured with the European Design Prize.
