Sculpture for the Tabletop

The Sphere Cutlery Set takes its cues from one of the most recognizable modern capsule designs in luxury tableware, reimagined with higher material standards and a manufacturing process engineered for longevity and safety. Each utensil is forged from food-grade 304 stainless steel, plated with laboratory-tested, lead-free and nickel-safe coatings.

Inside the polished dome, 24 fully plated pieces stand upright in a custom-engineered insert that prevents scratching and maintains finish integrity over years of daily use.

Every surface that touches food undergoes multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning, high-temperature curing, and final-surface inspection to ensure the set is as safe as it is striking.

Available in Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver—each finish is completely plated (not dipped), tested for lead, cadmium, and heavy metal leaching, and certified food-safe.

This is the Sphere: a design icon rebuilt from the inside out for people who care about form, function, and what actually touches their food.

Materials

304 Stainless Steel
Each utensil is forged from food-grade 304 stainless steel, chosen for its corrosion resistance, durability, and stability in daily food-contact use. The alloy’s composition ensures long-term clarity and structural integrity.

Full-Surface Precious Metal Plating
The Gold and Rose Gold finishes are produced using complete-surface 24k gold plating—not dipping—to ensure full, even coverage, stronger adhesion, and a deeper, more stable tone. The Silver finish uses a full-surface stainless chrome plating process that delivers a bright, mirror-true sheen with long-term durability. All finishes are laboratory-tested and certified lead-free, cadmium-free, and compliant with global heavy-metal migration standards.

Ultrasonic Cleaning
Before finishing, each utensil passes through a multi-stage ultrasonic cleaning sequence that removes microscopic oils, residues, and particulates—ensuring a chemically clean surface for safe contact with food.

High-Temperature Curing
After plating, the pieces undergo controlled high-temperature curing, a process that stabilizes the coating, strengthens adhesion, and enhances long-term finish durability.

Walnut Wood Base
The vessel is anchored by a solid walnut base, selected for density and dimensional stability. Its natural grain provides a visual counterpoint to the polished steel and a grounded foundation for the dome.

Polished Stainless Steel Dome
The outer vessel is formed from precision-shaped stainless steel with a polished finish that highlights the Sphere’s sculptural geometry while providing long-term surface durability.

Design Notes

The Sphere’s design is both functional engineering and sculptural restraint. The dome opens to reveal 24 vertically arranged utensils held in a custom internal structure engineered to prevent contact, friction, or scratching between pieces. This keeps each finish pristine over years of storage and use.

On the exterior, clean lines and controlled curvature give the sphere an architectural presence. Inside, the layout is optimized for balance, durability, and ease of access.

• Custom-engineered interior insert prevents scratching and metal-on-metal friction
• Full-plated utensils stored vertically for finish longevity
• Precision-formed stainless steel dome with minimal seams

Questions About The Sphere Cutlery Set

How long until I receive my order?

The Sphere Cutlery Set arrives approximately 11-17 days from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.

What is your return policy

The Sphere Cutlery Set can be returned after receiving the order only if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.

How can I track my order?

The Sphere Cutlery Set ships within 1-5 days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Sphere Cutlery Set ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
