Our cutlery has been influenced by German models from the 17th century. Max perfected the design of the cutlery over time, accompanying its evolution and adaptation to current requirements.

Our convictions are: Art, Science and Technology are not proclamations posted in paper, but inspiration and experimentation, our products are the result.
