The Cannes Sterling Silver cutlery set is free from superfluous ornamentation and features no extraneous embellishments beyond the five fluted rings on their handles. Puiforcat Cannes cutlery collection’s strong personality highlights a blend of concise geometry while making powerful use of volume. Thus creating a disciplined silhouette that is sometimes compared to the Art Deco facade of the Martinez Hotel in Cannes. Puiforcat loved this place dearly, which is one of the reasons the collection stole the heart of the silversmith-cum-designer, who chose this cutlery set to grace the tables of his wedding when he married Maria Estevez. What was new then was the three-pronged fork, which can be traced back to the style of Louis XIII.
Unity of Puiforcat Cannes Design
In order to emphasize the unity of the design, the fork handle was manufactured from one piece of metal, thus producing a nice, solid piece of cutlery. A novelty in the design of the spoon was the perfect oval shape of the bowl. The overall concept of the knife was also revised: The entire handle is now the same width as the blade. Very nice detail of the Cannes cutlery design includes the five rings adorning the handles. If Cannes pattern is not your favorite, let’s find other of the most famous Puiforcat cutlery collections:
