When the Art of Table Setting Meets Jewelry
On the occasion of the latest edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Christofle and jewelry designer Charlotte Chesnais unveiled Carrousel, a collection of cutlery within a case, reflecting a rare union between table art and jewelry...
Conceived as pieces of jewelry, each fork, spoon and knife, crafted in silver-plated metal, adopts graphic, sinuous, almost abstract shapes: gestures frozen in goldsmithing, a sensitive extension of Charlotte Chesnais's creative spirit. A two-tone version adorned with 18-carat gold is also available in a special edition. The Carrousel, set to launch in September, draws inspiration from Christofle's iconic oval-shaped Mood, while pushing the boundaries even further. /public-objects/9d558e82-755f-4005-ab61-0b3a74a78c52-059f5319-ef67-4cc6-ba66-37e225efe2c1-Photo%202.webp Image sélectionnée It is presented in a sculpture-box inspired by the kinetic movement it deploys, with a walnut panel inside that houses the 24 pieces aligned vertically like mobiles. Here, the object transcends its primary function, it is a composition, a set that is placed at the center of a table, a decorative object with a jewelry aesthetic that reveals a whole contemporary art of living. The jewel becomes a precious design utensil, and vice versa. It invites as much contemplation as use, thus shaking up the codes of the traditional silver service.
