From Sketch to Table
Taste is essential and minimalist, but its sinuous drop-shaped handle creates a strong emotional impact. The smooth transition between curves gives the collection a tactile and recognisable identity.

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 Taste set gives six guests both a table knife and fork and a dessert knife and fork. The meal changes scale, but the collection’s flowing drop-shaped silhouette remains recognisable, creating continuity from one course to the next.
Because it shows how the design adapts. Table and dessert pieces have different functions and proportions, yet the same soft transitions and tapered handles connect them visually. Taste becomes a family of related gestures rather than one shape repeated mechanically.
Taste makes that possible. The larger table pieces establish a more substantial first setting, while the smaller dessert knife and fork introduce a quieter and more intimate rhythm. The design remains minimal, but the experience of it changes as the meal progresses.
Reducing the scale concentrates the design. On the dessert pieces, the relationship between the tapered handle, curved transitions and functional end becomes especially clear, revealing how much of Taste’s personality is carried by proportion rather than decoration.
When the objects shift in scale without breaking the visual atmosphere. Taste moves from the larger dinner setting to a smaller dessert setting while preserving the same soft, flowing language, allowing the table to become more intimate without visually starting again.
