This graceful flatware design from the 1960s is one of the classics of the Pott collection. The hint of a triangle in the spoon and fork relate beautifully to the tapering handles. Ergonomically inspired is the slight swelling of the knife handle just before the blade – exactly at the point where the pressure of the finger is strongest.

When first introduced in 1952, this pattern was considered unsellable. It has since become an “ever-green” and to this day continues to be a favorite.

Carl Pott got the idea for this design while sitting under a chestnut tree and watching a leaf fall. The organic shape became the inspiration for the spoon, and the other flatware pieces were derived from it. The double-edged knife has less to do with nature and more with actual usage. The serration on the backside of the knife is ideal for carving into a piece of meat, while the other side is perfect for actual slicing. As the flatware of the 1972 Munich Olympics, the design became world famous.
