A Parisian Maison with a Remarkable Heritage

The story of Christofle began in Paris in 1830, when goldsmith Charles Christofle founded his workshop. Just a few years later, the company changed the world of tableware by introducing electroplating technology to France after acquiring the French patents for electro-gilding and electro-silvering in 1842. This innovation made it possible to apply an even layer of silver to high-quality objects, establishing Christofle as one of the world's leading silversmiths. By the late nineteenth century, the Maison was supplying royal households, luxury trains, ocean liners and prestigious hotels. Today, Christofle continues to unite traditional silversmithing with contemporary design, remaining an international symbol of French art de vivre and exceptional tableware.

For Christofle, Tradition Has Always Meant Moving Forward

Nearly two centuries of history have never prevented Christofle from embracing innovation. The Maison has long collaborated with internationally renowned designers, architects and creative talents, continuously reinterpreting the art of fine tableware. The result is a collection of designs that balance heritage with contemporary aesthetics, feeling equally at home in a classic dining room or a modern, minimalist interior.

Silver, Silver-Plated or Stainless Steel – Which Material Is Right for You?

Christofle offers cutlery and table accessories in a selection of carefully chosen materials, each with its own character. Sterling silver, made from 92.5% pure silver, represents the most exclusive option. Silver-plated cutlery has been at the heart of the Maison for generations, admired for its distinctive silver lustre and exceptional craftsmanship. Stainless steel provides a modern alternative that combines elegant design with outstanding durability and easy everyday care, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy using beautifully crafted cutlery every day.

Why We Focus on Stainless Steel and Silver-Plated Collections

At LIVOSY, we believe great design should be enjoyed every day. That's why our Christofle selection focuses on stainless steel and silver-plated collections. Both materials embody the Maison's unmistakable design language while offering outstanding durability and practicality. Silver-plated pieces celebrate Christofle's remarkable heritage, while stainless steel reflects a contemporary approach to French tableware. Together, they create collections designed to be used, appreciated and passed on for many years to come.

Some Collections Are Instantly Recognisable

Few design houses offer a portfolio as diverse as Christofle. Some collections have become timeless classics, while others have redefined modern tableware through bold contemporary design. What they all share is an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, functionality and elegance. Collections such as MOOD, Albi, Perles and Vertigo have become enduring icons, shaping the way people around the world experience contemporary dining and entertaining.

MOOD – A New Way to Present Cutlery

With the MOOD collection, Christofle reimagined the traditional cutlery canteen as a contemporary design icon. Instead of being hidden away in a drawer, the cutlery is housed inside a sculptural, mirror-polished stainless steel capsule that becomes a striking centrepiece in its own right. The concept is beautifully simple: cutlery should always be within easy reach while also becoming part of the interior. Over the years, the original MOOD collection has grown to include MOOD Coffee, MOOD Party, MOOD Easy, MOOD Asia and MOOD Nomade. Each has been created for a different occasion, from enjoying an espresso after dinner and serving cocktails with friends to sharing Asian cuisine or taking elegant picnics outdoors. Together, they demonstrate how Christofle continues to combine its heritage with contemporary design while never losing sight of everyday functionality.

Albi, Perles, Vertigo and Concorde – Each with Its Own Design Signature

Every Christofle collection tells a story of its own. Albi is one of the Maison's most celebrated classics, admired for its clean lines and timeless elegance. Inspired by the understated architecture of the cathedral in the French city of Albi, the collection has remained effortlessly contemporary for decades. Perles takes inspiration from the refined beauty of delicate pearl detailing, offering a graceful interpretation of a timeless decorative motif. Designed by Andrée Putman, Vertigo is instantly recognisable thanks to its distinctive ring detail, balancing bold geometry with soft, elegant curves. Concorde demonstrates that even a cutlery set can become a sculptural object. Inspired by the legendary supersonic aircraft, its sleek storage capsule combines exceptional functionality with unmistakable contemporary design.

Beyond Cutlery – Home Accessories with French Elegance

Today, Christofle is about much more than cutlery alone. Over the years, the Maison has expanded its collection to include home and table accessories that reflect the same commitment to craftsmanship, premium materials and timeless design. Elegant picture frames, silver-plated trays, decorative bowls, candlesticks and vases all share Christofle's unmistakable design language, adding refined accents throughout the home. The interplay of polished surfaces and carefully selected materials reflects light beautifully, creating interiors with warmth, depth and understated luxury. Many of these pieces become lasting companions, treasured for years and often passed down through generations.

A Contemporary Companion for Life on the Move

Not every innovation belongs at the dining table. Christofle's stainless steel travel mugs, finished with beautifully crafted leather sleeves, demonstrate how the Maison's design philosophy can be translated into modern everyday life. Combining durable materials with exceptional craftsmanship, they transform a morning coffee on the way to work or a leisurely walk through the city into a small moment of French art de vivre. For us, they are among the most exciting additions to the collection, bringing a fresh and contemporary perspective to Christofle's timeless universe.

Quality Is Often Found in the Smallest Details

Exceptional cutlery is defined by far more than its weight or polished finish. Balanced proportions, precisely finished edges, a comfortable feel in the hand and surfaces designed to retain their elegance over many years are what truly set premium cutlery apart. These details make the difference between cutlery that simply serves a purpose and pieces you genuinely enjoy using every day. Christofle combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques to create collections that meet the highest standards of both design and performance.

Silver-Plated Cutlery – Designed to Be Appreciated for Generations

For generations, silver-plated cutlery has represented the perfect balance between elegance and everyday practicality. It offers the unmistakable brilliance of silver while being designed for regular use and long-lasting enjoyment. Christofle is internationally recognised as one of the leading names in silver-plated tableware, employing high-quality electroplating techniques that have defined the Maison since the nineteenth century. Authentic Christofle pieces can also be identified by their distinctive maker's marks and hallmarks, valued by collectors and appreciated by anyone seeking genuine craftsmanship. Yet the true value of Christofle lies not only in the materials themselves, but in the lasting combination of design, heritage and exceptional quality.

Care That Preserves Their Beauty

With the right care, both stainless steel and silver-plated pieces will retain their distinctive beauty for many years. Stainless steel is remarkably easy to care for and perfectly suited to everyday use. Silver-plated cutlery and accessories benefit from a little more attention. A soft polishing cloth, suitable silver care products and dry storage help preserve their characteristic shine and protect the finish over time. Proper care allows every Christofle piece to age gracefully, becoming not simply an object, but a trusted companion to countless shared meals and memorable occasions.

Design That Stands the Test of Time

Great tableware is never about perfection alone. It is about the people gathered around the table and the memories created together. For almost two centuries, Christofle has crafted objects that quietly accompany these moments. Whether it's a contemporary stainless steel cutlery set, the iconic MOOD capsule, elegant silver-plated candlesticks or a beautifully crafted picture frame, every creation reflects French craftsmanship, timeless design and a philosophy that values lasting quality over passing trends. That is precisely why Christofle feels so at home at LIVOSY. Both brands believe in beautifully made objects designed not just for today, but for a lifetime of shared moments.
