Finishing for the extravagant look

Finishing for the extravagant look
As an eye-catching detail on the laid table, cutlery underlines the individual character of a gastronomic concept - either through discreet restraint or visual conciseness. Extraordinary cutlery surfaces are currently very much in vogue. These differ from one another in appearance and feel and have different effects on the guest as well as on the table arrangement, which is why we would like to provide a brief overview. After the hammered surface, which we presented in the article about SITELLO, we now continue with the different finishing methods.

 

PVD Coating

Gold, light gold, anthracite or copper: the PVD coating makes it possible to add a striking touch to the cutlery collections with different colour tones. The wafer-thin yet very hard and food-safe PVD coating is applied layer by layer in a vacuum process. This decorative surface treatment has also been used in the watch and jewellery industry for some time now. All PVD-coated cutlery can be easily cleaned in the dishwasher.

 

Stone-Washing

The irregular material removal is caused by abrasives that work on its metal surface like small files. Thus, no cutlery part is like the other and becomes a great eye-catcher due to the "used" - or antique look. This imposing vintage character is especially effective with rustic porcelain.

 

Glass beads

The treatment with glass beads, on the other hand, provides a velvety surface for cutlery. Under high speed and great pressure, small glass beads act on the cutlery pieces. Since this technique strengthens and cleans at the same time, a particularly homogeneous surface is also achieved. The delicate brush-look gives cutlery a dynamic touch and seduces the sense of touch to explore. The finish adds an extra dimension to cutlery, which is particularly effective with the metallic PVD colours. Can be combined in many ways, from classic to modern.

 

Silver plating

Even today, silver cutlery is still the guarantee for a particularly noble table ambience. Silver is a shiny white metal and gives the cutlery pieces a moonlit soft sheen and maximum reflectivity. For silver plating, the cutlery is immersed in a bath in which an electric current flows from the plus pole, the fine silver anode, to the minus pole, the cutlery part. The current takes fine silver particles from the silver anode and deposits them on the cutlery.

 

Brushed

The surface structure of the brushed cutlery is matt. At the same time it appears fine and velvety. To achieve this effect, each piece is treated with special ribbons. The result creates a dynamic flow and thus gives the cutlery an additional dimension.

 

Cross-finishing

Cross refinement provides particularly exquisite accents, combining the various refinement processes. All PVD colours have a very special and interesting effect when combined with surface treatments such as stone-washed, brushed or glass bead blasted. Silver-plated cutlery gets a truly exceptional finish through cross refinement.
