"Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without no cause nor invention without necessity." - Leonardo Da Vinci
The new Vinci cutlery line was born from a moment of pure inspiration and aims to represent the perfect relationship of symbiosis between nature and the human being.
Strongly characterized by its elegant silhouette, the balance of the pieces promotes an odd comfort in its handling, as a result of an in-depth ergonomic study. Based on a trendily modern style, it has roots in the leaf-shaped design of the traditional north Australian tree Cupaniopsis Anacardioides where its organic shape reveals a flawless harmony with the modernism presented in the current international trends of tableware.
The current project was the result of a partnership between Herdmar and the Design School of the University of Minho, which aims to promote a more pragmatic and mutually evolving development bringing the academic community closer to national industry.
Original from the Latin noun "gratia", which characterized the mythological goddesses, graced with the gift of pleasing, it’s also a typically feminine name, which brings with it full tenderness, elegance and sophistication, attributes that are linearly common in the genre.
These adjectives were also the three basic guidelines for the development of Grace model, where a peculiar design link between the vastly different models Stick & Vinci, harmoniously took place, generating pieces with notorious modern taste, which even thought for the daily needs, will undoubtedly stand out for their casual chic style.
Produced in 18/10 stainless steel with a three millimetres base, all the pieces in this line have the usual quality, ergonomics and balance easily found across all Herdmar range of cutlery.
With a thin and delicate body, the Stick model breaks with the conventional shape of table cutlery.
Designed in a three millimetres thick base, the items in this line stand out for their elegant cut, boosted by their thin and long profile.
The unmistakable and predominantly modern style of this collection brings a notorious compromise between the decorative component, its function and ergonomics, proving that elegance not always mean sacrifice.
Designed by experienced Portuguese designer Miguel Peixoto, the Urban collection presents itself as a proposal of eccentricity and sophistication for the table.
With emphasis on the vertical and guiding lines of the design, a profile inspired by the shape of a trapezoid, the model developed in stainless steel with a thickness of 4 millimeters, with its irreverent appearance shows everyday life isn’t always conventional.
