La Tavola Aperitivo Set

Hand carved and cast, the La Tavola Aperitivo Set draws from the idea of the table itself. Planks worn by time, shaped by use, and carried through generations. Each handle carved with a weight and irregularity that recalls timber boards, ship decks, and the quiet tension between refinement and raw material. 

Formed in solid, lead-free brass with forged elements. Designed for the in between moments of the table, it moves fluidly through the ritual of aperitivo: a spoon for olives, a knife for soft cheeses, a fork passed between hands. Not just tools, but small gestures that shape the rhythm of gathering. 

A four-piece set, scaled for sharing, it invites a slower pace- something assembled, not rushed. A moment before the meal, or long after it ends.

Over time, the unlacquered brass will deepen and darken, developing a patina that reflects its use with each gathering leaving behind a trace.

An object for the table. A set to return to.
