FORTESSA INTRODUCES NEW FLATWARE PATTERNS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Infusing contemporary dining with innovative shapes and stylish, functional surfaces, Fortessa introduces fashion forward flatware for today’s tabletop.

The Lucca collection features fluid curves with ergonomically contoured handles for easy and comfortable use. The enhanced curves of the fork tines raise the food for superior presentation, as if on a pedestal. As with Lucca, Lucca Faceted uses the same weighty and well-balanced design with the added feature of honeycomb shaped embossment on the surface. Not only stylish, the facets effectively reduce fingerprints.

Inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement’s simplicity of design and hand crafted attention, Mission brings classic, angular forms to the tabletop. Missions highly polished 18/10 stainless steel body features heft and balance to please the most discriminating taste. The squared bowl of the spoons, normally associated with gelato, perfectly complement the unified design.

Bistro is classic yet contemporary. This weighty, versatile flatware features a handsome banded cuff and neck, with generous handles and a radiant mirror finish. Bistro is steeped in the tradition of classic Parisian cafes yet perfect for contemporary venues that value quality and culture.

Festive and playful, Sundial sets the tone for an enjoyable event. Wide handles taper to distinctive sundials on both ends while generous tines denote the quality that comes with all Fortessa products.

Modernity abounds with the strong lines and bold shapes of Spada. Reverse geometry makes for ever changing views as the handle’s top contour presents a wide cuff tapering to a thin neck while the side view offers a thin cuff expanding to a thick neck. The result is a flatware pattern with changing perceptions based on the movement of the observer. The Spada pattern also comes in a brushed finish that not only helps to hide fingerprints but also gives the flatware a sophisticated, silken sheen.

The ever popular Palio pattern now comes in a hammered finish. The combination of a hammered texture with mirror finish create a dappling display of light sure to enliven any table as well as hide fingerprints.
