La Tavola Silver

Inspired by the silverware of the first class restaurants on luxury cruise liners that, with lights twinkling, sailed through the oceans at the beginning of the twentieth-century, the Ballet collection revives the magic moments and fading memories of that exclusive world, and brings them up-to-date with a 21st century flourish.

Nowadays, the collection sits beautifully on the tables of today’s new temples of luxury, themselves the work of great designers and famous stylists. Ballet is an invitation to elegance and demands that everything living on the table around it meets the same high standards. It is unthinkable to approach a table laid with Ballet and have a casual or rushed meal.

The secret of the succ ess of this holloware line, whic h I personally designed, was in the ability to reproduce, using industrial technology, objects that were originally handmade by very skilled craftsmen.
