01 The story

From Sketch to Table

Como is shaped through harmonious lines, fluid transitions and a softly modelled surface. The handle follows a gently tensioned curve that gives the pattern an elegant and continuous silhouette.

Robert Berking

When designing for the table, the focus is balance, restraint and the feeling of holding something that already belongs in your hand.

Questions about Robbe & Berking Como Cutlery Set — 75 Pieces

What defines the Robbe & Berking Como 75-piece set?

The 75-piece Como set brings Robert Berking’s fluid design language across a generous and complete table setting. Seen together, the collection’s softly arched stems and flowing transitions create an unusually harmonious rhythm around the table. The larger composition reveals what makes Como distinctive: each piece has presence of its own, yet the collection reads as one continuous family.

Which Michelin-starred chef has chosen Como for the table?

In Hamburg, Como appears on the table at bianc, the two-Michelin-starred restaurant of chef Matteo Ferrantino. Overlooking the Elbphilharmonie in HafenCity, Ferrantino creates a highly personal interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine, working with exceptional produce from land, sea and season. His dishes are precise and meticulously presented, yet retain the warmth of the South. Como belongs naturally in this setting: sculptural enough to contribute to the composition of the table, but quiet enough to leave Ferrantino’s food at the centre of the experience.

Why does Como work particularly well across a large table setting?

Como is built around continuity. The graceful arch of the stem and the smooth transitions between handle and functional end repeat from piece to piece, creating a flowing visual line across the table. In a larger set, this repetition becomes part of the atmosphere: rather than making the table feel formal or crowded, Como gives it a sense of calm movement and coherence.

What makes the shape of Como distinctive?

The signature of Como is its gently arched stem. Instead of dividing the handle and functional part into separate visual elements, Robert Berking allows the form to flow from one into the other. The result is soft and sculptural, with a profile that becomes particularly expressive when the cutlery is seen from the side.

Who designed Robbe & Berking Como?

Como was designed by Robert Berking. The collection reflects a silversmith’s approach to stainless steel, where form, balance and material are considered together rather than independently. Its character comes from shaping the metal itself — harmonious lines, flowing transitions and careful proportions — rather than from applied decoration.
