A spoonful of sugar is optional. A little style is rather harder to resist.
These eight Christofle Duo teaspoons bring sculptural elegance to coffee breaks, afternoon tea, and dessert. Their slender, gently tapered handles and softly rounded bowls capture the appeal of a thoughtfully designed everyday object—beautiful to look at and a pleasure to use.
Designed by Finnish designer Tapio Wirkkala, Duo combines French silverware craftsmanship with the flowing forms of Scandinavian modernism. Equally at home beside delicate porcelain or a favorite everyday cup, these are pieces to enjoy whenever the kettle goes on.
Offered as a set of eight matching silver-plated teaspoons.
