Designed in 1938 and presented in silver at the 1940 Triennale, the collection series of cutlery - an excellent example of “Lombard classicism” in design - won praise from Gio Ponti for the balance it struck between an image of craftsmanship and the industrial future of household objects. Since 1990, thanks to an agreement after extensive philological research to complete the series with the missing pieces, the collection has been reissued in 18/10 stainless steel and in 925/00 silver for the brand.
This set is absolutly beautiful and a delight to hold in my hand. The knife has an edge on it that is sharp enough to cut easily with. The small spoon is very small but is so balanced that it is comfortable in my hand, and I have large hands.
I purchased the set with the 3 tongs on the fork and is very pleasing to look at.
Now to just find the 4 pronged forks without having to buy a whole set.. Elaine. Kent, WA. Wed Nov 22 2023
