We all know about knife blocks, right? Big wooden things. Sort of clunky looking.
Well, now there's the MIKOTO bamboo knife block from Ekobo, designed by Martin Robitsch. His web site describes the knife block this way: "The free-form, skewer-filled bamboo box allows you to insert a number of knives in any formation, easily customizing the fit by removing (or re-adding) skewers." It's available in three sizes and five colors.
Ekobo is a French company (but products are available around the world) which makes a variety of bamboo products in Vietnam, allowing artisans to stay in their villages and work locally. There's lots of interesting information about the company on their web site.
Update on November 6, 2007: It looks like these knife blocks are now available at VivaTerra.
