10 Easy Pieces: Architect-Designed Flatware

From Julie

Most of us will never live in a domicile designed by an internationally celebrated architect. But you can add world-class architecture to your daily life with flatware by alive notables such as Renzo Piano and Jean Nouvel and not-alive notables such as Josef Hoffman and Arne Jacobsen.

Below: Alessi recently reintroduced Josef Hoffman's Rundes Modell Flatware of mirror-polished stainless steel; the Austrian architect designed the line in 1906 for the Wiener Werkstaette. Prices start at $9 for a small spoon at Cookware.

Below: Arne Jacobsen designed this minimalist brushed-stainless line of flatware for Georg Jensen in 1957; a five-piece place setting is currently on sale for $95 at LX Studio (free shipping as well).

Below: Inspired by the austere lifestyle of Bohemian monks, English architect John Pawson designed this Spartan set of cutlery for Belgian company When Objects Work; a four-piece place setting is $91 at Rose & Radish in SF. In LA, the line can also be had at Matin.

Below: French architect and 2008 Pritzker Prize laureate Jean Nouvel's matte stainless-steel line of flatware for Georg Jensen is $120 for a five-piece place setting at Modern Dinnerware.

Below: Italian starchitect Renzo Piano designed the curvaceous Piano 98 flatware for Scandinavian company Iittala in 1998; a five-piece place setting is $105 at Modern Dinnerware. The compelling wood-handled serving-spoon set can be had for $98 at Amazon. renzopianoflatware.jpg

Below: Grethe Meyer trained as an architect at the Academy of Arts in Copenhagen; her elegantly proportioned Copenhagen stainless cutlery for Georg Jensen is available at Unica Home. A five-piece place setting is $114 and is available in mirror or matte finish.

Below: Italian-born architect and designer Antonio Citterio created the Citterio 98 brushed stainless cutlery line for Iittala; a five-piece table setting is $52 at Hive Modern.

Below: In 1938, a trio of Italian architects and industrial designers collaborated on the Caccia line of flatware; a five-piece setting from Alessi is $90 at New York's MoMA Store.

Below: Gio Ponti, anyone? The iconic Italian architect and designer (the genius behind the La Pavoni espresso machine) created the Sambonet line of cutlery in satin-finish stainless steel. A five-piece setting from Rosenthal is $111.95 at Cooking. A silverplate five-piece setting is $144 at Fitzsu Society.

Below: Achille Castiglioni's Dry Line "reinterpretation of classic Italian tableware"; available in mirror-polished or matte finish stainless steel. Available at Questo Design in the UK; prices start at $7.91. castiglioneflatware.jpg

I have been using the Citterio 98 by Antonio Citterio since 1998 when I purchased it in Helsinki at the Iittala Store.
