Natural texture keeps every handle visibly individual.
Cream, beige, brown and darker tones are shaped by visible pores, marbling, layered markings and naturally irregular texture.
About the seriesAnimal Materials, considered for the table
Animal Materials highlights the pores, layers, tonal shifts and mineral-like markings found in natural animal-origin handles. Rather than creating a perfectly uniform surface, the collection preserves the material’s individual texture and depth. Matte steel bolsters bring balance and a restrained contrast to the organic handles.
Each piece is handcrafted and finished in Laguiole, France, where the handle, steel and characteristic Laguiole details are assembled by skilled artisans.
The pieces are prepared after the order is confirmed. The expected production and delivery time is approximately four weeks.
