Model created by Lino Sabattini for Christofle in 1957

Launched by his mentor Gio Ponti with a major solo exhibition in Milan in the early 1950s, Sabattini became creative director at this leading Parisian company between 1956 and 1963. He created a range of objects with very simple, pure, and elegant lines, almost all of which have become legendary and can now be found in the collections of major museums such as the MOMA and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A small but totally innovative detail: the fish knife is the first in the history of cutlery to be perfectly suited to left-handed people!

Excellent condition.
