Description

Mirror-effect finish enhances the high quality of stainless steel, emphasizing shapes and design. The surfaces are polished with additives and mechanical brushes made of different materials, which smooth the stainless steel lending it a high gloss. Reflections enrich the object, make it even more precious.
The knife with an orfèvre hollow handle is typical of the finest cutlery collections. The blade is bonded to the handle by inserting a special cement paste filling that gives the knife an optimal balance. This is an artisanal process that is still carried out today entirely by hand.
Created in 2010, the silverplated Paris flatware owes its name to the city that Alberto Pinto, its desigber, chose as a place of creation and where he claimed to find the most skilful and talented craftsmen. Alberto Pinto was a great collector and decorator, an explorer of styles, a traveler of time who drew with refinement from history and cultures to create universes charged with memory. From his passion for the arts of the table was born the fruitful relationship with Ercuis. To create this iconic flatware, he chose to reinterpret a great classic of French silversmithing: the motif of the \”ruban croisé\” (crossed ribbon) that wraps itself around the handle. An 18th century inspiration for a creation that is both modern and classic in the pure tradition of French decorative arts.
