Triennale reinterprets the formal rigour of traditional cutlery through the language of 1970s Italian design. Clean lines, balanced proportions, a wide blade, generous spoon bowls and slender fork tines create a precise and functional collection.
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 24-piece Triennale set distils the collection to its essentials: knife, fork, spoon and tea spoon for six guests. Clean lines, balanced proportions and ergonomic details remain, allowing the seventies design language to be experienced without the distraction of a more elaborate place setting.
Because the design reinterprets rather than rejects the classical place setting. Sambonet preserves formal clarity, but softens it through more contemporary proportions and a stronger focus on how the pieces feel in use.
In a subtle way, yes. Triennale reflects a period when Italian designers were rethinking familiar domestic objects through function, proportion and modern living. Repeated across six places, those ideas become a rhythm rather than a historical reference.
Because every piece is used repeatedly throughout the meal. Triennale treats comfort as part of the design language, so the way the knife, fork and spoon balance in the hand becomes just as important as their appearance beside the plate.
When a design keeps the principles of an era but leaves behind its obvious visual clichés. Triennale carries forward the seventies interest in clarity, balance and function without depending on period decoration, allowing the set to feel contemporary decades later.
