Flat, 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 Flat
How can a piece of cutlery have personality without decoration?
Flat is Sambonet’s answer to that question. The collection strips the object back to a minimal silhouette, allowing proportion, surface and the relationship between handle and functional end to create its character. Sambonet describes Flat as combining strong personality with minimal style — a design that stands out without relying on ornament.
Why is a collection called Flat anything but visually anonymous?
Because simplicity makes proportion more important, not less. Flat uses a controlled, graphic silhouette that gives the pieces a clear presence beside the plate. With decorative detail removed, every transition, width and reflection becomes part of the design.
Can one cutlery design belong to almost any kind of table?
That versatility is central to Flat. Sambonet describes the collection as having a transversal style suited to different mise-en-place. Its restrained geometry does not prescribe a particular historical or decorative setting, allowing it to move between minimal ceramics, more classical porcelain and highly contemporary tables.
What happens when the same minimal form changes colour?
The silhouette remains constant while the atmosphere changes dramatically. Flat is offered in polished steel as well as a wide range of PVD finishes and other surface treatments. Gold, black, copper-toned or stainless expressions can therefore make the same underlying design feel warmer, darker, more reflective or more graphic without changing its proportions.
Why might Flat be one of Sambonet’s most flexible collections?
Because the design leaves room for its surroundings. Rather than tying the table to a decorative period or a strong motif, Flat provides a clean framework that can respond to different plates, glassware, colours and interiors. Its identity is strong enough to be recognisable, but restrained enough to let the rest of the table change.
