Alain Saint-Joanis - The Haute Couture Of Cutlery
Right now in the market, there is more variety than ever before... but with so much of everything available, finding that perfect piece has never seemed so difficult. I have always been on the hunt for the perfect bamboo cutlery, so when I stumbled upon the set made by Alain Saint-Joanis, I thought I had found the holy grail of table-setting. That was the beginning of my love affair with this exquisite French maison. But it is fair (and necessary) to say that this brand has much more to offer than perfectly shaped bamboo-handled silverware: ebony, rosewood, olive wood… rare, noble and precious materials crafted to perfection. All are beautiful and flexible enough to pair with different meals and settings.
140 years of savoir faire
Since 1876, Alain Saint-Joanis has been known for craftsmanship and savior-faire. This family-owned brand has passed their know-how through four generations, manufacturing collections according to the highest standards of French tradition.
As a Member of the Ateliers d’Art de France, a federation of craft professionals, all of their products are hand assembled and hand polished in France.

Trends come and go but there are certain things that must be made to last and to survive the test of time; flatware is definitely one of them. Not only will the right cutlery make your table stand out, but it will also do the same for your food. Did you know that several studies have shown that crockery, cutlery and music contribute at least as much to the enjoyment of a meal as the food itself? Alain Saint-Joanis offers the winning trio that every table needs: practicality, quality and style. It’s no surprise that three Michelin star chef Pierre Gagnaire, the Royal Mansour in Marrakech or the recently reopened Hôtel de Crillon in Paris are among Alain Saint-Joanis’ exclusive clientele.

The Bamboo Cutlery Collection
A re-edition of an in-house design from the fifties. Their own archives, as well as the ancient cutlery designs on show at the Thiers Cutlery Museum, are an inexhaustible source of inspiration for their creations. Although some people still associate bamboo flatware with summer entertaining, the truth is that it works wonders all year round.
