About the series

Purple Compressed Fabric, considered for the table

The Forge de Laguiole Purple Compressed Fabric series introduces a purple compressed-fabric handle to the traditional Laguiole table profile. The material creates a clear contemporary colour while preserving the balance, steelwork and workshop finishing associated with Forge de Laguiole. Each piece is made and finished in Laguiole, France.

Purple compressed fabric has a saturated violet tone with a smooth matte-to-satin surface and subtle layered depth. It is a crafted textile composite rather than a natural material, so colour is more consistent, although small differences in layering and hand-finishing may occur.

Each piece is made and finished in Laguiole, France, where steel, handle and characteristic details are shaped into one balanced object. Natural materials retain their individual grain, tone and markings, making every place setting subtly unique.
