Know before you buy
The Vintage finish is a specialized brushed treatment that gives the stainless steel a matte, slightly weathered appearance. It is designed to hide fingerprints and minor scratches better than a high-polish finish, making it ideal for everyday use.
Yes, the 18/10 stainless steel construction is durable and dishwasher safe. To maintain the integrity of the brushed vintage finish over time, we recommend avoiding harsh detergents and drying the pieces promptly after the cycle ends.
The solid handle construction provides a substantial, weighted feel that is significantly more balanced than hollow-handled flatware. This design ensures the utensils feel secure and ergonomic in the hand during use.
Each set provides a complete service for one person, consisting of a table fork, a table knife, a dessert fork, a dessert spoon, and a tea spoon.
Yes, this collection is produced by Sambonet in collaboration with the Gio Ponti archives. It faithfully reproduces the iconic, rationalist shapes originally conceived by the designer, maintaining the clean lines and proportions of his classic work.
