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.
The 36-piece Contour set creates a more layered dining sequence for six guests. Alongside the main table knife and fork, dedicated dessert knives and forks allow a new pairing to appear later in the meal. The design remains consistent, but the rhythm of the table changes course by course.
Because its identity is built on continuity. The fluid silhouette and restrained proportions do not demand attention each time a new piece arrives. Instead, the table evolves quietly, with each course introducing another variation of the same visual language.
Yes. Dedicated pieces for later courses create a sense of progression, but Contour’s understated form keeps the setting relaxed. The refinement comes from completeness and consistency rather than ornament or ceremony.
Scaling the design down changes the balance between handle, blade and overall proportion. The same flowing language becomes more compact and delicate, showing that Contour’s character is not tied to one size but to the relationship between line, proportion and continuity.
It reveals how Contour behaves across the progression of a meal. The 24-piece set establishes the essential place setting; the 36-piece version extends that language into another knife-and-fork moment. The result is not simply more cutlery, but a more complete choreography around the table.
