A beautiful table is not just about plates or glasses: table cutlery also plays an essential role in creating the right atmosphere for a meal. Minimalist, contemporary, colourful, vintage-effect or combined with wood, cutlery can give your table real character without having to completely rethink your décor.
So, which cutlery set should you choose? The number of pieces is obviously important, but it is not the only factor to consider. The type of stainless steel, finish, handle shape, comfort in the hand and ease of maintenance can make all the difference between a simple cutlery set and one you will enjoy bringing out for every meal.
For everyday use, a 24-piece cutlery set is generally an excellent choice, as it provides a complete table setting for 6 people with knives, forks, tablespoons and teaspoons. 16-piece sets are ideal for 4 people, while 30-piece cutlery sets offer an even more complete selection.
From the Italian design of Mepra and Alessi to the original finishes of Amefa and Comas, not forgetting Tramontina's wooden handles, discover our selection of the 10 most beautiful cutlery sets to enhance your table.

Why choose an 18/10 stainless steel cutlery set?
When comparing several cutlery sets, you will regularly come across the markings 18/10 and 18/0. These refer to the composition of the stainless steel used to manufacture the cutlery.
In 18/10 stainless steel, the first number refers to a chromium content of approximately 18%, while the second indicates approximately 10% nickel. Chromium plays an essential role in corrosion resistance: when exposed to oxygen, it allows a very thin protective layer, known as a passive layer, to form on the surface of the steel. This layer naturally reforms when slightly damaged.
Nickel contributes to the properties of austenitic steel and notably improves its resistance to corrosion in certain environments. This is why 18/10 stainless steel is particularly popular for quality cutlery, kitchen utensils and a wide range of kitchen equipment.
18/0 stainless steel also contains a significant proportion of chromium but little or no nickel. It can therefore be an excellent solution for everyday cutlery, particularly when design or a specific finish is the priority. The Amefa Square and Comas BCN Colors sets in this selection are good examples.
Finally, remember that the composition of the steel is not everything. The thickness, balance, shape, quality of finish and comfort in the hand are just as important. A beautiful cutlery set is one that already feels good before the first course even reaches the table.
