Six good reasons to set the table beautifully.
These Christofle Duo dinner forks bring a graceful touch of modernist design to the table. Their slender, sculptural handles widen gently before tapering toward the ends—a quietly distinctive shape that feels as fresh today as it did when the pattern was introduced.
Designed by Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala, Duo combines French silverware craftsmanship with the flowing forms of Scandinavian design. These forks are understated enough for everyday elegance and substantial enough for a celebration. Bring out the linen, invite a few friends, and let dinner take its time.
Offered as a set of six matching silver-plated dinner forks. Each bears the Christofle France maker’s marks.

History of the Maker
Founded in Paris in 1830, Christofle is celebrated for its silverware and collaborations with influential designers.
Tapio Wirkkala’s Duo pattern was introduced in 1957 as part of Christofle’s Formes Nouvelles collection. Its elegant, organic lines reflect the Finnish designer’s talent for turning everyday objects into small sculptural pleasures.
