From Sketch to Table
Contour relies on fluid lines and carefully controlled detail to create a timeless modern pattern. Its restrained outline gives the collection a composed, sophisticated presence without becoming ornate.

18/10 stainless steel. Monobloc / solid-handle table knives. The carefully finished stainless steel brings clarity to the collection’s lines, proportions and decorative details, creating a refined play of light across the table.
When designing for the table, the focus is balance, restraint and the feeling of holding something that already belongs in your hand.
In the 75-piece Complete Collection, Contour moves beyond individual place settings and becomes the visual language of the whole meal. The same restrained lines and balanced proportions appear beside each guest and continue into the serving pieces at the centre, creating continuity from plate to platter.
Because serving changes the scale of the design. Individual knives, forks and spoons are experienced privately, while serving pieces are lifted, passed and shared. In the Complete Collection, Contour’s fluid silhouette is therefore seen both as an intimate object in the hand and as part of the communal choreography of the table.
Contour is particularly suited to that challenge. Its character comes from continuity, proportion and polished steel rather than ornament. Even when repeated across a complete setting, the design creates structure without becoming visually dominant, allowing food, porcelain and glassware to remain at the centre of the experience.
Because the larger forms make the silhouette easier to read. As the handle flows into a serving spoon, fork or ladle, the continuity of the contour becomes more visible. The collection’s identity is not applied to the surface; it is carried by the outline of the object itself.
A set equips the individual guest. A complete collection also considers what happens between guests: serving, sharing and the movement of food through the centre of the table. With Contour, those moments remain part of the same restrained design language, turning the collection from a group of utensils into a complete table system.
