From Sketch to Table
Imagine uses linear, precise shapes to create a distinctly contemporary collection. Glossy surfaces, gentle curves and an enveloping silhouette give the pattern elegance without unnecessary decoration.

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.
Imagine begins to operate less like sixty separate utensils and more like one continuous composition. Across twelve place settings, its precise lines and softer, enveloping curves repeat from guest to guest, turning a recognised design into part of the architecture of a large table.
Imagine was recognised with the Contract Design 2004 award. Its strength lies in combining contemporary precision with a softer physical presence: linear forms remain controlled, while the silhouettes are sinuous enough to feel inviting rather than severe.
Imagine is particularly suited to that challenge. The 60-piece set gives twelve guests the same five-piece sequence, creating visual rhythm without relying on ornament. Repetition brings order, while the clean forms leave space for food, porcelain and glassware to remain visually important.
The knife combines a visually flowing silhouette with a more substantial physical presence. That contrast captures Imagine particularly well: the collection appears controlled and light on the table, yet feels reassuring and deliberate when lifted.
Imagine changes scale without losing its identity. As the larger pieces are cleared, twelve dessert forks and tea spoons carry the same design language into the quieter final part of the meal. Dessert and coffee therefore become a continuation of the table rather than a separate visual ending.
