About the series
New York, considered for the table
New York is Henning Koppel’s modernist cutlery collection, combining softly sculpted handles with a disciplined matte finish.
Designed in 1963, New York expresses Koppel’s belief that function and sculptural beauty should be inseparable. The collection has no applied decoration; its character comes entirely from fluid transitions and carefully resolved proportions.
The restrained matte expression works naturally with contemporary porcelain and creates a quiet visual continuity across both everyday and formal place settings.
