Studio William Tilia Crackle 42 Piece Cutlery Set
Selected with intention
The Tilia Crackle 42 Piece Cutlery Set is designed for six complete place settings, offering a refined and considered presence at the table. Crafted in 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror finish, it brings together elegant proportion, a slender profile and a quietly tactile surface that feels both modern and enduring.
Inspired by the tall, graceful trunks of the Tilia tree, the handles follow clean, straight lines with softened edges, while the utensil heads remain slender and refined. The knives are particularly well balanced, with a thicker handle section at the bolster for a comfortable first finger rest, and a smooth transition from handle to blade that gives the piece a fluid, elegant feel in use.
The crackle texture adds depth to the otherwise minimal design. Debossed across the front and back of each handle, it introduces a subtle tactile detail that blends seamlessly into the utensil head, bringing character without disturbing the purity of the form. The result is a timeless cutlery set that lends quiet confidence to everyday dining and more formal occasions alike.
Set includes:
- 6 x Side Knife (212 mm)
- 6 x Side Fork (188 mm)
- 6 x Table Knives (240 mm)
- 6 x Table Forks (210 mm)
- 6 x Dessert Spoons (188 mm)
