• type: flatware, cutlery
• material: solid silver

The longstanding silver manufactory of Jarosinski & Vaugoin has been producing high-quality cutlery since 1847. In creating their design No. 192, Thomas Feichtner drew inspiration from the classic methods involved in producing such utensils by hand. “I wanted not simply to provide a design, but also to involve the production process typically used by this manufactory, working together with them to develop something new,” says Feichtner on his concept. Prominent here is Feichtner’s formal approach that employs a clever combination of clear surfaces and radiuses, with a theme of two diametrically intersecting phases lending this cutlery a highly individual character. For over 150 years, Jarosinski & Vaugoin has used a consecutive numbering scheme to name its sets of cutlery—so No. 192 is thus the newest of altogether 192 sets.
