What is universal cutlery?
Mar 21, 2022

Forget what you know about cutlery. Live a unique sensory experience through astonishing design.
The Christofle silversmith's house revisits table practices with its new collection of essential cutlery called Infini Christofle.  Christofle has reflected on the modern use of cutlery, the essential elements of a contemporary table and how we can, using ancestral know-how, challenge the established order to reach the fundamental.

This is how the Christofle Studio created Infini Christofle, rethinking each element of cutlery.

 

Discover our new cutlery called “universal”, an exclusive innovation of this collection.

To have a better understanding of what universal cutlery is,

Christofle created pictograms to recognize the usage of each one.
