Alain Saint-Joanis Luxury Cutlery Riviera

Alain Saint-Joanis – The Riviera model embodies the atmosphere of the French Riviera, elegant villas, Art Deco salons, and timeless glamour. The collection stands out with its exceptionally sophisticated silhouette inspired by the fashionable aesthetics of the 1930s – a long, elegantly shaped handle that gently widens towards the bottom, reminiscent of the flowing silhouette of Marlene Dietrich's evening gowns. The overall impression is feminine, clean, and highly decorative.

A characteristic feature of the Riviera model is the wider ferrule into which the handle is precisely set. The handle itself is gently faceted all around, allowing it to beautifully interact with light and adding a subtle geometric elegance to the collection. This detail creates an exceptional haptic and visual effect, emphasizing the jewelry-like character of the entire collection.

The collection is available with heads made of high-quality forged 18/10 stainless steel or in a luxurious silver-plated finish, which gives the cutlery a noble shine and the classic character of French table art. Both variants excel in precise craftsmanship, perfect stability, and long-lasting durability for everyday use.

The massively forged 18/10 stainless steel cutlery head represents the pinnacle of traditional French craftsmanship. Forging from a single piece of steel ensures exceptional strength, perfect balance, and long-lasting durability even with daily use. This manufacturing method also allows for precise definition of lines, finer detail, and significantly higher quality compared to common stamped cutlery. The surface is then hand-polished and finished in the spirit of traditional French orfèvrerie.

Riviera is offered in four exclusive handle finishes. The Ébène variant is made from genuine solid ebony with a deep dark tone and an exceptionally luxurious character. Olivier, made from genuine olive wood, brings a light Mediterranean elegance and unique natural grain. The Corne Blonde and Corne Noire variants are made from luxurious resin inspired by the structure of natural horn – the light Corne Blonde has a delicate amber and elegantly transparent appearance, while Corne Noire captivates with deep dark tones and dramatic material depth.

The Alain Saint-Joanis Model Riviera is artisanally produced in the workshops of La Monnerie in France, and each piece undergoes hand-finishing with an emphasis on detail, proportion, and a perfect surface in the quality of traditional French orfèvrerie.

The basic set includes a dinner fork, a dinner spoon, a dinner knife, and a coffee spoon. Individual pieces or a complete service according to the original nomenclature of the Riviera collection can also be supplied upon request.
