Christofle: Vertigo

Dessert Stand 2-tier

Because desserts deserve a little architecture too

The 2-tier “Vertigo” pastry stand by Christofle transforms even the smallest treats into part of the table setting itself. Two elegantly balanced silver-plated tiers rise beneath the collection’s iconic asymmetrical ring handle, creating a serving piece that feels both sculptural and effortlessly refined.

Designed by Andrée Putman, the Vertigo collection has become one of Christofle’s most recognisable contemporary designs. Its signature circular ring introduces movement and subtle tension into the otherwise minimalist silhouette, giving the object a calm yet distinctive personality.

With a diameter of 14.5 cm and a height of 18 cm, the 2-tier stand is ideal for pastries, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, fruit or refined aperitif snacks. The stacked design adds visual lightness while creating elegant structure on the table — perfect for entertaining without clutter.

The highly polished silver-plated finish reflects light beautifully, enhancing the clean lines and timeless proportions of the piece. Even the simplest arrangement suddenly feels thoughtfully curated — almost as though afternoon tea had quietly relocated to a Parisian salon.

Minimalism with a graceful twist

Vertigo is celebrated for balancing simplicity with movement. The collection combines contemporary minimalism with emotional softness, resulting in objects that remain practical while feeling unmistakably artistic.

The 2-tier pastry stand works beautifully in both modern and classic interiors. Whether used for brunch, afternoon tea, aperitifs or elegant dinner gatherings, it introduces atmosphere and sophistication without ever feeling formal.

Paired with additional Vertigo pieces, crystal glassware or silver-plated accessories, the stand helps create a table setting that feels relaxed, refined and distinctly French.

With Vertigo, Christofle and Andrée Putman created a true modern icon — minimal, expressive and quietly sophisticated.

For beautifully shared moments

The Vertigo 2-tier pastry stand brings elegance to everyday rituals and special occasions alike. It organises, presents and decorates all at once while adding a calm sense of luxury to the table.

And sometimes, true table culture simply begins with giving strawberries a slightly more beautiful place to sit.
