"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.
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.
Kos is the Norwegian meaning for good times and simple pleasures, and this was the spur that led the development of this cutlery line.
With fluid, timeless, and relaxed design, each piece carries an invitation to simplify and relish each moment at the table with a touch of refinement and easiness.
Highly inspired by Japanese aesthetics and under the Buddhist concept “Enso”, it comes up the newest Herdmar cutlery line. A reflection of balance, strength and elegance, tending to be iconic in its forms, this second flatware project by the young Portuguese designer, João Ferreira, carries in every detail an expression of the moment, harmony and simplicity aiming to bring to your table the same values of the philosophy that fuelled its creation.
