The 70-piece Como set brings the collection’s flowing forms together across a generous table setting. Robert Berking’s softly arched stems and seamless transitions repeat from piece to piece, creating a sense of movement rather than formality. Seen across a larger table, Como becomes almost architectural in rhythm — a collection designed to connect the individual place settings into one coherent composition.

In Munich, Como appears at KOMU, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant created by chef Christoph Kunz. His approach strips dining back to its essence while keeping a sense of pleasure and informality at its centre. The restaurant’s philosophy is expressed through form, character and connection rather than unnecessary complication — an attitude that finds a natural counterpart in Como. Its sculptural lines give the table identity, while its restraint leaves space for Kunz’s food and the experience around it.

The character of Como lies as much in repetition as in the individual piece. Its gently rising stems create a sequence of soft curves around the plates, replacing rigid symmetry with a quieter sense of movement. In a larger setting, these repeated lines give the table continuity without making it feel overly formal.

Look at the profile of the handle. Como rises through a gentle arch before flowing into the functional part of each piece, avoiding an abrupt transition between stem and head. This continuous line gives the collection its sculptural quality and makes the silhouette recognisable even before the surface or material is considered.

Como was designed by Robert Berking. Rather than adding decoration, he allows the shaping of the metal itself to create the collection’s identity. Proportion, balance and flowing transitions do the work, resulting in cutlery that feels contemporary while remaining closely connected to Robbe & Berking’s tradition of silversmithing.
