In a few years, people will be 3D printing replacement handles for their cooking implements that are purposefully shaped like recycled tool components, for it will be “très chic”. Not long after that, manufacturers will begin selling cooking implements with such handles as part of the intended design.
Then, when those handles break we will replace them with exacting 3D printed copies of the fake recycled tool components. Over time, however, people will start deviating from the new norm by 3D printing their own practical and utilitarian replacement handles that are actually just modern day handle designs.
We shall skeuomorphize and then de-skeuomorphize over and over in an endless cycle of Consumerism following Makerism, and vice versa!
