I\u2019ve searched high and low for flatware that\u2019ll make even the most humdrum dining experience feel special.<\/p>\n

Welcome to Someone Buy This!<\/a>, a monthly shopping column featuring the fun, the frivolous, and the practical from a very discerning shopper<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n

Flatware is one of those everyday essentials that often gets overlooked in interiors, yet it\u2019s one of the things in your home that you\u2019ll use every day. When I talk about flatware (which is embarrassingly often) or even Google it, Sabre\u2019s Bistrot line<\/a> currently <\/b>dominates the conversation. Search interest<\/a> for Sabre\u2019s brand has been on the rise over the last five years, peaking during the 2024 holiday season. Their retro-modern flatware has become the go-to choice for wedding registries, food stylists and anyone who\u2019s released a cookbook in the last few years. I love Sabre, especially their very slept-on Icone line<\/a>, and while I do love a candy-colored dessert spoon, I\u2019d like to broaden the table a bit\u2014literally.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a whole world of other brands making beautiful pieces that can elevate your meals. Let\u2019s explore what else is out there.<\/p>\n

Cutipol<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Cutipol Goa Flatware<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

The perfect symbiosis of West and East in ergonomic and delicate pieces that inspire unique gestures. The Goa Cutipol collection has the following parts: dinner knife, dinner fork, table spoon, dessert knife, dessert fork, dessert spoon, fish knife, fish fork, coffee\/tea spoon, moka spoon, soup ladle, serving spoon, sugar ladle, serving knife, serving fork, sauce ladle, pie server, salad set, Pastry fork, butter knife, long drink spoon, lobster fork, oyster fork, steak knife, cheese knife, snail fork, gourmet spoon, chopstick set with support (3 pieces) and Japanese fork. Material: Matte brushed stainless steel 18\/10 and resin handle available in different colors Coating: Gold plated 24k or rose gold plated 18k Design: Jos\u00e9 Joaquim Ribeiro <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Cutipol flatware is the kind of design detail that whispers instead of shouts. Its pieces look minimalistic and delicate but feel sturdy in your hand. While we were in Lisbon two summers ago, my boyfriend and I dragged his family across town so that we could visit the Cutipol showroom and see every piece up close. The brand\u2019s Goa<\/a> and Moon<\/a> lines are my favorites. Both feature spoons with perfectly round bowls, which is really playful and unexpected. This allows you to bring some fun to the table without your cutlery looking like it’s from the kids section. Cutipol pieces come in two different, dishwasher safe styles\u2014fully stainless steel or with resin handles. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Acopa Odin Black Flatware Set<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Acopa’s Odin flatware collection features comfortably slim, forged handles that taper to a point, providing elegance and charm. Its modern yet familiar design is sleek, slender, and alluring. This set is suited to a variety of fine dining establishments and special catered events, making it a versatile and fun addition to your collection. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

(If you\u2019re not ready to take the plunge on a full set, there\u2019s a pretty good dupe available at Webstaurant Store<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Vintage Mismatched<\/h4>\n

There are a ton of Etsy sellers out there offering curated, mismatched vintage flatware. This seller<\/a>, for instance, focuses on midcentury designs<\/a>. I bought a set from them as a Christmas gift for my aunt and she loved it. If you\u2019re looking for vintage flatware, I strongly suggest you stick with stainless steel pieces that can go in the dishwasher. Silverware made of actual silver is more finicky and high maintenance, though you may not mind the upkeep if this is your special occasion set.<\/p>\n

Vintage IKEA flatware is great too, and readily available on Etsy, though I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a good candidate for the mismatched look. I love the negative space in this 1980s set<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lorien Stern Snake Flatware<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Snake Flatware Set designed by Lorien Stern. A set includes a fork, knife, and a spoon Stainless steel and dishwasher safe. Flatware ranges from 1 in. – 2 in. wide to 7.5 in – 9 in. long <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Lorien Stern Tulip Flatware<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Tulip Flatware Set designed by Lorien Stern. A set includes a fork, knife, and a spoon. Stainless steel and dishwasher safe. Flatware ranges from 1 1\/4 in. – 2 1\/8 in. wide to 8 1\/8 in. – 8 1\/2 in. long <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Artist and designer Lorien Stern\u2019s first flatware line, released late last year, made me squeal with delight. There are two styles, one shaped like tulips<\/a> and the other like snakes<\/a>. They\u2019re definitely more on the quirky side, so you\u2019ll need to really think about them within the context of the rest of your table.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Sophie Lou Jacobsen Petal Plate<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

The Petal Plates are a colorful collection of hand-made plates, entirely made in NYC. Available in two sizes, they can be used on their own as serving dishes, combined into a set of dinner plates, or paired with the smaller size to create striking color combinations or color blocked pairings. They also work beautifully as decorative catch all bowls. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

TJ\u00c4RLEK Glasses<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Give spring parties and dinners a shimmer that\u2019s extra festive. These 4 glasses with bright colors are just as great for the welcome drink as for the dessert. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

You could pare everything else down and let the tulips shine or you could fully lean into the quirkiness with bold plates<\/a> and glassware<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HAY<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Hay MVS Cutlery<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Designed by Muller Van Severen for HAY, this four-piece place setting embodies the designers\u2019 minimalist aesthetic and thoughtful approach to color. Crafted from brushed stainless steel with painted handles, each set of flatware can be used together or mixed and matched to brighten your table. Made in China. Set includes 1 fork, 1 knife, 1 spoon, and 1 teaspoon. Dishwasher safe. Made from brushed stainless steel with painted handles. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Known more for its furniture, HAY would not be my first stop for cutlery\u2014but I found a surprise in the utilitarian MVS line<\/a>, which really puts the “flat” in flatware. With its subtly off-kilter proportions and unexpected mix of matte and polished finishes, this set feels both deliberate and effortlessly cool. If you\u2019re feeling adventurous, mix up the colors!<\/p>\n

Mepra<\/a><\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Mepra Fantasia Italian Flatware Set<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Our community can\u2019t get enough of colorful tableware, and when you see Italian-made Fantasia flatware, it\u2019s pretty clear why. From famed design house Mepra, their vibrant handles are a funky break from all-silver and all-brass everything. Fancy those bright colors? They’ll stay that way, thanks to special glass fibers built right in. Durable 18\/10 stainless steel. Resin handles enriched with glass fibers. Dishwasher safe. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

What if you want Sabre but\u2026 not? Mepra\u2019s Fantasia line<\/a> is a great alternative. You\u2019ll get similarly bright, sturdy handles but with a more delicate shape overall. Much like my other colored-handle picks, you can commit to a color or buy a pre-mixed set of colors that compliment each other.<\/p>\n

Laguiole-style flatware<\/h4>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

Jean Dubost Laguiole 24-Piece Everyday Flatware Set<\/a><\/h2>\n

<\/a>

\n

Set the table in style with this chic Laguiole flatware set from Jean Dubost. It features six knives, six spoons, six forks & six coffee spoons, all with assorted fruity-colored ABS handles. Established in 1920 in the south of France, Jean Dubost is a fourth-generation, family-run company that designs, manufactures, and shapes artisan flatware and knives for a difference in quality you can see and feel. <\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\n

Laguiole<\/a> is a type of traditional French pocket knife; it\u2019s also the name of a brand and a style of flatware with handles that resemble a switchblade. Jean Dubost\u2019s Laguiole flatware<\/a> is what I most commonly see in restaurants and stores, but there are tons of dupes<\/a> out there. You don\u2019t have to commit to a full flatware set, either. The knives are a great way to dip your toe in without replacing your entire set. I have two sets of Laguiole knives that I found at Home Goods and will mix them into meals that require a bit more cutting power.<\/p>\n
