Good cutlery goes unnoticed at the table. It has the right weight in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy, it is balanced without feeling engineered, and comfortable to hold without the form demanding attention. That is difficult to achieve. It is exactly what David Chipperfield designed Santiago to be.
Chipperfield is one of the most respected architects of our time, winner of the 2023 Pritzker Prize, known for the restoration of the Neues Museum in Berlin and for a body of work built on the conviction that form and material speak when ornament falls silent. That conviction is visible in Santiago: straight, clean lines without interruption, a soft transition from handle to functional part, and mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel that reflects the tablecloth and the light above. Nothing more. Nothing less.
DC05S24 contains 24 pieces: tablespoons, table forks, table knives and coffee spoons for six people. Dishwasher safe, but it will retain its character longest with hand washing.
Cutlery that will look the same in twenty years as it does today.
