Designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri, Hannah offers a new interpretation of a classical table object. Its controlled geometry and considered proportions earned the collection the prestigious ADI Compasso d’Oro Award.
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.
Because the cake fork reduces the collection to a smaller and more delicate scale. Hannah’s proportions, balance and tactile character remain recognisable, but the object becomes lighter and more intimate. It shows how Anna Castelli Ferrieri’s design language can adapt to a different moment of the meal without losing its identity.
It does not disappear. The six cake forks and tea spoons allow Hannah to continue into dessert and coffee, when the table becomes quieter and the gestures smaller. The final course becomes another opportunity to experience the same award-winning design through the hand.
In an unexpected way, yes. Hannah received the ADI Compasso d’Oro in 1994 for rethinking a classical everyday object through function, proportion and tactile harmony. The smaller pieces make that discipline especially visible: nothing needs to become ornamental simply because the occasion becomes more indulgent.
Because her work treated everyday life as a legitimate subject for serious design. Architecture, furniture and cutlery may exist at very different scales, but all are experienced by people. Hannah turns the familiar gestures of eating dessert or stirring coffee into part of that larger design philosophy.
When the table has been cleared of its larger objects. With fewer and smaller pieces remaining, details of proportion, surface and balance become easier to notice. In the Hannah 30-piece set, dessert is not an appendix to dinner; it is the moment when the collection can be experienced at its most intimate.
