Questions about Decò
What would the Roaring Twenties look like if they were reduced to a piece of cutlery?
Sambonet Decò translates the spirit of the 1920s into the table rather than simply reproducing a historical pattern. Sambonet describes the collection through the vitality of the Roaring Twenties and the pleasure of surrounding oneself with beautiful things. The result is classical cutlery with a sense of glamour, confidence and occasion.
Why were beautiful objects so important to the spirit of the 1920s?
The decade was shaped by a renewed appetite for modernity, entertainment and visual sophistication. Interiors, fashion, architecture and table culture became part of a wider celebration of style. Decò draws on that atmosphere, treating cutlery not merely as a utensil but as one of the objects that helps create the mood around a table.
Can a mirror-polished surface make a historical reference feel contemporary?
Yes. Sambonet polishes the stainless steel to a high-gloss mirror finish that emphasises the shape while reflecting glassware, porcelain and light from the surrounding table. Rather than making Decò feel like a reproduction from the past, the reflective surface allows its historical character to interact with a contemporary setting.
Why does Decò belong to a dinner table rather than a display cabinet?
Because Sambonet treats the collection as functioning tableware rather than a historical replica. The forms carry the elegance associated with the Roaring Twenties, while stainless steel construction and contemporary production make the pieces intended for actual dining. The past becomes something to use rather than simply admire.
What is the difference between nostalgia and bringing an era back to the table?
Nostalgia attempts to recreate the past exactly. Decò takes another route: it preserves an atmosphere — confidence, elegance and the pleasure of beautiful objects — while allowing the pieces to live among contemporary plates, glassware and interiors. The reference is historical; the table does not have to be.
