From Sketch to Table
Before it reaches the table, Barrel Oak is shaped around the Forge de Laguiole profile — steel, handle and handwork brought into one balanced line.
Before it reaches the table, Barrel Oak 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 satin matte 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 table knives, 6 forks, 6 soup spoons and 6 coffee spoons. Presented in a light oak wooden box.
Barrel oak has a warm honey to medium-brown colour with clearly visible oak grain, rays and occasional darker lines or patina. The reclaimed or seasoned character of the wood can produce individual tonal differences. It is natural, so every handle varies.
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 satin-matte steel softens reflections and gives the object a calm, tactile character that lets the handle material remain visually central.
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.
