From Sketch to Table
Before it reaches the table, Animalia is shaped around the Forge de Laguiole profile — steel, handle and handwork brought into one balanced line.
Before it reaches the table, Animalia is shaped around the Forge de Laguiole profile — steel, handle and handwork brought into one balanced line.
The characteristic bee, the balance of the handle and the mirror polished steel finish give the object its quiet precision.
When designing for the table, the focus is balance, restraint and the feeling of holding something that already belongs in your hand.
Forge de Laguiole Workshop
The set contains 6 forks.
Animalia combines six natural animal-origin handle expressions: bone, Aries horn, light horn tip, dark horn tip, deer antler and two-tone camel bone. The set moves from creamy ivory and pale horn to deep brown, black and textured antler. All are natural materials, so colours, markings and textures vary from knife to knife.
Each piece is made and finished by Forge de Laguiole in the village of Laguiole, France, where the handle, steel and characteristic details are assembled and refined.
The mirror-polished steel creates a bright, reflective surface that sharpens the silhouette and brings an elegant play of light to the table.
Personal engraving may be possible and should be agreed before production so the workshop can confirm the placement and technical details. The expected production and delivery time is approximately four weeks.
Products made with engraving or another individual specification cannot normally be returned unless they are defective. Standard catalogue products remain subject to the statutory withdrawal rights that apply in the customer’s country.
