I love good food. I love good wine. I love good flatware. I own the Cutipol Goa set and I’m in love with it. Every friend that comes round for dinner at my place falls in love with it. Really proud of my choice. Now off to eat some suculent tender veal and Bordeaux wine!!

Does anyone know of any modern flatware chests or cases? I have a 56 designer set. I have been searching for a while and I can only find vintage designs..

It;s good to see that there are lots of varieties to choose from. There are silverware, flatware, and of course the plastic. I always loved plastic spoon and forks because it gives me a lot of benefits and advantages. It saves me time and money plus there are more designs to choose from.

No one’s mentioned my beloved Dansk Torun. Is that passe? That’s the set that first made an impression on me and got me thinking about flatware. It was on my mind since I first held it in my hand in 1993, and I finally got a service for 12 (vintage Japan) in 2010. That’s staying power.

I have been losing my mind trying to decide on everyday flatware that will please the whole family (I am more traditional, my husband and kids like modern) so I was thrilled to find this post which has been very helpful.
But here’s the real problem…I already bought the Wright set at C&B because I love the look of it but I haven’t unpacked it because now I am having second thoughts about how it will hold up after many washes in the dishwasher. What I’d really love to get is the Katherine set from PB or the Hotel set from Williams Sonoma or something along those lines…in other words, traditional, classic. But my husband does’nt like those at all…Does anyone have any thoughts on the Wright set? Maybe I will look at the luna again…that could be a compromise…

This is a completely tardy addition to this thread, but I wanted to include my favorite — Clark flatware from Crate & Barrel. ADORE. Clean lines, lovely brushed finish that doesn’t show spots, nice heft (how it feels is important to me; I can’t stand flatware that’s not balanced or is too light). When I was growing up, we had lovely Danish-inspired simple brushed-finish flatware, and this set reminds me of those.
