An explosion of color inspired by the stars

The COSMOS collection draws its inspiration from the infinite beauty of the universe. Each of the four models—Big Bang, Space, Saturn, Earth—embodies a unique facet of the cosmos through a handle made of dyed elder wood burl, carefully polished to reveal the depth of its patterns. Its vibrant, hypnotic reflections evoke distant galaxies, glowing nebulae, or northern lights. Each knife features a unique bee (Big Bang, Earth, Saturn, Space) and a backspring engraved with celestial motifs, giving the piece an almost mythological dimension. A cosmic collection at the crossroads of cutlery art and astronomical contemplation.
