From Sketch to Table
Velvet follows a minimal-chic philosophy in which harmonious shapes meet a refined but simple aesthetic. The result is relaxed enough for casual dining and polished enough for a contemporary formal setting.

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 Velvet set reduces the collection to its essential place setting: knife, fork, spoon and tea spoon for six guests. With very little visual noise, the sinuous lines and balanced proportions become easier to notice, giving the table a refined but relaxed character.
Because the visual language is controlled and fluid. Sambonet gives Velvet a substantial 4 mm thickness, yet the flowing silhouette prevents the pieces from looking heavy. The result is an interesting contrast between physical presence in the hand and visual softness on the table.
That is precisely where Velvet works well. The design is restrained enough for an everyday table, but the polished surfaces, balanced proportions and tactile presence give the setting a sense of refinement without requiring ceremony.
Because the name refers more to sensation than material. The rounded transitions and smooth, flowing lines give the steel a softer character than its material might suggest, making Velvet a collection that is understood through touch as much as sight.
When clarity is combined with softness. Across twenty-four pieces, Velvet repeats the same calm proportions and fluid lines around six guests, creating a table that feels contemporary and considered without becoming severe.
