POTT 36 Collection Stainless Steel Fruit Knife

About the Designer
Carl Pott

Carl Pott was in close contact with other significant designers of functional objects. He ran his designs by them, and at the same time, challenged them to develop their own flatware patterns. His credo was, "I consider it to be my duties to produce not only from the fiscal point of view, but as manufacturer I also have cultural responsibilities." This reasoning led him to persuade Hermann Gretsch, Wilhelm Wagenfeld, Josef Hoffmann, Elisabeth Treskow, Hans Schwippert, Paul Voss and Alexander Schaffner to design flatware for the POTT production program. One of the last designs by Carl Pott, continues to be one of the most successful in the Pott flatware program. At the time of its introduction, in 1975, the five-tined fork was a total innovation. Extending the width of the fork allowed for an easier scooping of sauces and vegetables, such as peas. The fine grooves at the end of the handles give this massive flatware a special allure. Designed by: Carl Pott, 1975

Even a flatware pattern with corners and edges can have some flourish, as shown by this latter Carl Pott design. Part of the fascination lies in the beveled cut of the handle edges that creates a light effect that reflects the total artistry of the grinders and polishers. The flourish of the fork and spoon lies in the light upswing that underlines the elegance of the design.
