"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.
Signed by the Portuguese design collective RAMA OBJECTS (Marta Gonçalves e Helder Cação), the Verso model combines sophistication with a bold aesthetic, revealing unique and authentic design, promising to be one of the highlights at any table.
Produced in a 4 mm stainless steel base, with a smooth and versatile shape, it’s the result of a narrow collaboration between authors and artisans who joined forces to create a line of cutlery which highly appeals to the sense of visceral design.
The model Desire conceptually challenges the traditional cutlery shape, featuring a fully rounded silhouette, obtained through the unique use of stainless-steel bar, which through a predominantly manual production process, allow us to reach a strong form and a finest soft touch.
For luxury lovers, this model can be complemented with Swarovski crystals and combine its elegance with the glamor of the crystals, promoting a smooth trip to an even more noble and refined environment.
