Overview

The Zermatt flatware collection was created by French designer Patrick Jouin for Puiforcat. For his first foray into flatware, Patrick Jouin drew inspiration from Zermatt, an opulent Swiss ski resort surrounded by breathtaking mountains. The harsh majesty of the Alpine terrain is reflected in the strong, sharp lines of the fork and dinner knife. Fashioned in stainless steel, this collection created for the House of Puiforcat in 2010 has already been deemed a classic of contemporary design by authoritative observers: the world's top museums, from the Centre Pompidou in Paris to the New York Museum of Arts and Design, have sung its praises.

The Zermatt flatware collection includes a Dinner collection (Fork, Knife, Spoon), a Dessert Collection (Fork, Knife, Spoon), a Fish or Salad Collection (Fork, Knife), a Demitasse Spoon, a moka spoon, a Butter Spreader and a combined Serving Fork/Spoon. Boasting exceptional savoir-faire, the House of Puiforcat offers pieces of its heritage while imagining the classics of tomorrow. The Parisian silversmith Puiforcat is regarded as one of the legendary names in European silver craftsmanship.
