From Sketch to Table
Baltic is defined by precise facets and handles that end in a diamond-shaped point. The angular detailing catches the light and gives the pattern a bright, architectural character.

Faceted handles with diamond-shaped ends create a crisp and luminous expression.
When designing for the table, the focus is balance, restraint and the feeling of holding something that already belongs in your hand.

The 70-piece Baltic set is designed for a fuller table setting, where the collection’s polished surfaces and precisely defined handle ends can be experienced across many places at once. Its strength lies in consistency: each piece carries the same controlled geometry, creating a composed and elegant rhythm around the table rather than a collection of separate objects.
Baltic is found in dining rooms where classical hospitality and contemporary precision meet. At the Michelin-starred restaurant Hilmar at Schlosshotel Münchhausen, chef Stephan Krogmann serves modern cosmopolitan cuisine rooted in classical French craftsmanship. Baltic also appears at Buchholz Gutshof Britz in Berlin, at petit bonheur in Hamburg and at Brasserie la Source at Château Attisholz in Switzerland. Across these different settings, the collection brings the same sense of polish, order and quiet formality to the table.
On a larger table, repetition becomes part of the design. Baltic’s clean handle geometry and brilliant surface create a clear visual framework from one place setting to the next. The collection is formal enough to give the table structure, yet restrained enough to allow porcelain, glassware, flowers and food to shape the individual character of the setting.
The defining detail is found at the ends of the handles, where clean, sharply resolved corners replace the softer terminals seen in many classical patterns. Combined with the polished stainless steel, this gives Baltic an architectural clarity that feels both traditional and contemporary.
Baltic was designed by Robert Berking. His approach is based on proportion, geometry and surface rather than ornament, giving the collection a formal presence without making it decorative. That restraint is part of what allows Baltic to move naturally between private dining rooms and refined restaurant tables.
