About the series
Bloom, made for the table
The carefully finished stainless steel brings clarity to the collection’s lines, proportions and decorative details, creating a refined play of light across the table.
Crafted in 18/10 stainless steel, the cutlery combines a refined surface with the durability required for professional service and daily dining. The table knives use monobloc construction, forming a solid and continuous piece without a joint between handle and blade.
Sambonet is an Italian tableware brand with a cutlery tradition dating to 1856. Its collections move between classical references, modern design research and expressive surface treatments, combining Italian style with practical table use.

Questions about Bloom
What happens when a flower petal becomes a piece of cutlery?
Bloom begins with forms found in nature. Sambonet describes the collection through softness, simplicity and balance, with silhouettes inspired by the appearance of flower petals. Instead of reproducing a flower literally, the design translates its gentle curves and natural proportions into stainless steel.
Why is the collection called Bloom?
The name reflects the botanical idea behind the design. Bloom draws on the moment when natural forms open and soften, using petal-like shapes rather than rigid geometry to give the cutlery its character. The reference is subtle: nature is present in the proportions and curves rather than as applied decoration.
Can stainless steel feel organic?
Bloom shows how. Although the material is precise and industrial, the silhouettes avoid a mechanical appearance. Soft transitions and balanced forms give the pieces a more organic presence, creating a contrast between the hardness of stainless steel and the visual delicacy of something inspired by petals.
What changes when Bloom moves from mirror polish to an Antique finish?
The underlying form remains the same, but the atmosphere changes considerably. The mirror finish emphasises light and reflection, making the petal-inspired shapes appear brighter and more defined. Sambonet's Antique treatment gives the stainless steel a matt, subtly textured character, making the same curves feel softer and more tactile.
Why can a nature-inspired design work without looking decorative?
Because Bloom borrows principles from nature rather than copying motifs from it. There are no engraved flowers or botanical ornaments. Instead, Sambonet works with softness, balance and petal-like proportions, allowing the reference to nature to be felt through the shape of the object itself.
