Questions about MEPRA Avanguardia

What gives MEPRA Avanguardia its distinctive character?

Avanguardia combines a forward-looking curved profile with a clean tapered handle. The line appears to move through the piece, creating a contemporary expression that feels fluid rather than angular.

How does Avanguardia feel and live at the table?

The 18/10 stainless steel gives Avanguardia a balanced weight and a clear tactile presence. The design is intended to be noticed through the hand and the rhythm of the place setting rather than through ornament alone.

How does the surface change the mood of Avanguardia?

Mirror and Ice reveal two readings of Avanguardia. Polished steel brings clarity and reflection, while the brushed surface diffuses the light and lets the silhouette speak more quietly.

Where has MEPRA Avanguardia appeared at the table?

Il Pagliaccio (2 Michelin stars), Rome, Italy — Black Gold; Obscura (1 Michelin star), Shanghai, China — Champagne Ice; Pelegrini (1 Michelin star), Šibenik, Croatia — Ice; Gellius (1 Michelin star), Treviso, Italy — Champagne Ice; Bistro Sarri (1 Michelin star), Imperia, Italy — Silverplated Ice; Da Vittorio (3 Michelin stars), Bergamo, Italy — Gold. These references show how Avanguardia can retain its identity across very different dining rooms.

What should be known about its made-to-order production?

Each set is made to order in Italy. This slower rhythm of production reflects the care taken with the final composition and surface, and it usually requires a longer lead time than a standard stock item. Changes may not be possible once production has begun. Because each set is made to order, it cannot be returned or exchanged once produced. Statutory rights concerning defects, damage or incorrect goods remain unaffected.
