Christofle: Vertigo

Trinket Bangle Bowl 17 cm

Sometimes one beautiful bowl changes the entire table

The 17 cm “Vertigo” bowl by Christofle proves that even the smallest objects can transform an atmosphere. Its softly curved silhouette, highly polished silver-plated finish and iconic ring handle create a piece that feels sculptural, elegant and quietly expressive all at once.

Designed by the celebrated Andrée Putman, the Vertigo collection is recognised for its refined minimalist aesthetic. The collection’s signature asymmetrical ring interrupts the clean geometry with subtle movement, adding personality and tension to an otherwise pure silhouette. It is this understated detail that has made Vertigo one of Christofle’s most iconic contemporary collections.

With a diameter of 17 cm and a height of 4.7 cm, the bowl is ideal for berries, fruit, chocolates, nuts, desserts or refined appetisers. At the same time, it works beautifully as a decorative object on coffee tables, consoles or kitchen shelves. Some bowls simply hold food — this one holds atmosphere.

The mirror-like silver-plated finish reflects light beautifully, enhancing the clean proportions and giving the bowl a sophisticated presence without feeling excessive. Even a handful of blackberries suddenly looks carefully curated.

Minimalism that never feels cold

Vertigo combines simplicity with emotion, creating objects that remain highly functional while carrying a strong design identity. The bowl feels contemporary yet timeless, elegant yet relaxed.

Whether used for breakfast, aperitifs, desserts or decorative styling, it adapts effortlessly to both modern and classic interiors. Combined with additional Vertigo pieces or refined glassware, it creates a table setting with unmistakable French character.

Its understated elegance allows it to blend naturally into everyday life while still feeling special enough for entertaining.

Christofle — French craftsmanship since 1830

Since 1830, Christofle has represented exceptional silver craftsmanship and refined French table culture. The Parisian maison continues to combine artisanal expertise with contemporary design, creating timeless objects meant to be enjoyed for generations.

The intricate polishing, engraving and finishing techniques are still preserved and passed down by highly skilled craftsmen, ensuring the unmistakable quality and elegance of every Christofle creation.

With Vertigo, Christofle and Andrée Putman created a true modern design icon — subtle, refined and instantly recognisable.

For everyday rituals with a little more beauty

The Vertigo bowl adds elegance to both everyday moments and special occasions. It presents, organises and decorates at the same time while bringing a calm sense of luxury into the home.

And perhaps strawberries really do taste slightly better when served in silver.
