Table Knife "Gagnère"
| "What interested me in this knife, except its tapering blade and its rectilinear handle, is the fact that the bee is represented by a lobe located in the central part of the knife. I considered this detail as very interesting because it was a way to evoque both rusticity and modernism of a bee" Olivier Gagnère This model is in Pierre Gagnaire¹s restaurant in Seoul (Korea), which opened in July 2008. This creation is inspired from a Joseph Pages's knife that originated in 1910. The 11cm blade and the bee are made of stainless steel.

| A cake slicer knife designed by Matali Crasset for famous confectioner Pierre Hermé in Paris and manufactured by Forge de Laguiole. This ultra design knife made of aluminum and food silicone is used for cutting up with its sharpen blade just as well as serving with its wide blade. "I have been looking for a long time for the ideal tool to share and serve my cakes. Matali Crasset designed it in a very nice way. Thank you Matali." Pierre Hermé "When Pierre Hermé asked me to design a cake knife, I first of all thought about the usage: first to cut and then to serve. My idea was to make this easier. Once the cake is cut, I turn round the cake knife handle in my hand and the knife becomes a server. It is a clear and instinctive new gesture. A new hybrid tool, mix between a knife and a server, is born." Matali Crasset A cake knife to enhance the service of your favourite desserts! Matali Crasset worked for Philippe Starck for five years before opening her own studio in Paris. She now works across a wide range of disciplines on mass-manufactured furniture and electronic products, experimental projects and architectural commissions including HI Hotel in Nice. |
