Flatware

Product catalog summary

Introduction
La Tavola, established by Giulio and Sergio Sambonet, offers a flatware collection that merges art with functionality. The collection features designs in stainless steel, silver-plated, and titanium-coated finishes, showcasing the founders' commitment to timeless tableware.

Design Philosophy
The design of flatware involves predicting trends and expressing them through materials and forms. It requires a combination of taste, sensitivity, and experience to ensure each piece is unique and balanced in weight, shape, proportion, ergonomics, and balance.

Titanium Coating
Utilizing PVD technology, the titanium coating provides a unique finish with options such as Black, Gold, Venetian Gold, and Platinum Champagne. This process results in a highly adherent film with exceptional hardness and corrosion resistance.

Collection Highlights

Yuki: Available in Black, Gold, and Venetian Gold Titanium.
Première: Features Black, Venetian Gold, and Gold Titanium with a brush finish.
Rainbow: Offers Platinum Champagne Titanium.
Carmen: Combines Black & Gold Titanium.
Lounge: Available in Venetian Gold & Black Titanium.

Available Versions
The collection includes finishes such as 18/10 stainless steel (mirror or satin), silver-plated (mirror or satin), and various titanium options (Black, Venetian Gold, Gold, Platinum Champagne).

Product Overview
This document details a range of cutlery items, including table and dessert knives, spoons, forks, and specialty items like fish knives and cake servers. Products are available in finishes like 18/10 stainless steel, silver-plated, black titanium, gold titanium, and platinum champagne titanium.

Product Specifications
Specifications include item codes and available finishes for various cutlery items such as table spoons, forks, knives, dessert cutlery, fish cutlery, and serving utensils.

Care and Maintenance
Maintenance instructions for stainless steel and silver-plated cutlery are provided. Silver may oxidize when exposed to certain foods and air, which can be remedied with silver polish. It is advised to minimize exposure to hot steam in dishwashers to prevent corrosion, especially for stainless steel blades.

Key Recommendations

Remove cutlery from the dishwasher immediately after the cycle and dry with a soft cloth.
Professional users should consider installing a dechlorinator to reduce chlorine levels in water.
Avoid prolonged contact of silverware with certain foods and kitchen fumes to prevent oxidation.

Introduction to PVD Treatment
The PVD process involves creating metallic vapors in a vacuum to form highly adherent thin films with exceptional chemical and physical properties, enhancing the durability and performance of titanium-coated items.

Advantages of PVD Treatment

Extremely hard surfaces with a hardness of 2500/3000 HV compared to 350/400 HV for 18/10 stainless steel.
High corrosion resistance, withstanding over 1500 hours in salt spray solution (ISO 9227).
Excellent wear and abrasion resistance.
Resistance to solvents, acids, alkalis, and domestic anti-calcareous products.
No degradation under UV light for over 2400 hours (UNI 9397).
Biocompatible and hygienic, suitable for coating orthodontic and surgical instruments.

Care and Maintenance for Titanium-Coated Flatware
Titanium-coated flatware requires minimal maintenance. It does not tarnish, corrode, or rust, and is resistant to scratches. Care should be taken to prevent the hard serration of blades from scratching other flatware. It is recommended to wash and store knives separately from forks and spoons, arranging them in the same direction.

Technical Information and Maintenance for Stainless Steel Flatware

Materials: Forks, spoons, and knife handles are made from AISI 304 (18/10) austenitic stainless steel, while blades and solid handle knives are made from AISI 420 martensitic stainless steel.
Care: Wash items in hot water with neutral detergent, avoid chlorine-based cleaners, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry environment. Avoid prolonged contact with corrosive food residues.
Dishwasher Use: Ensure items are dry after the cycle, or dry them manually with a soft cloth.

Product Information
La Tavola products are inspected and guaranteed against manufacturing defects. Items may be modified for aesthetic or technical reasons without notice, and catalog images may not reflect actual proportions.
