"An elegant, well-crafted update of classic bistroware, itself an update of 18th-century wood- and bone-handled cutlery with visible rivets on the handles, Bistrot's appeal may come from the fact that it's produced in a confetti of colors. The company was founded in 1993 by husband-and-wife team Francis and Pascale Gelb, who applied his expertise as a goldsmith and her foodie focus to come up with an everyday line that disrupted the formality and predictability of tableware by, in their words, "combining utility with delight.""
"Forged just outside of Paris of top-quality 18/10 stainless steel with resin handles, their designs have become ubiquitous: seemingly every retailer that sells cutlery-from Hawkins New York, Hudson Grace, and East Fork to Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, and Urban Outfitters-has started offering pieces from the Bistrot collection. And plenty of others, like Ikea and Home Depot, have come up with something like them. Here's a look."
Sabre's Bistrot line is a skinny French-style flatware collection produced in many colors with resin handles attached to 18/10 stainless-steel utensils. The design updates classic bistroware, which evolved from 18th-century wood- and bone-handled cutlery with visible rivets. The company launched in 1993 by Francis and Pascale Gelb and combined goldsmithing craft with culinary focus to create everyday pieces that disrupted tableware formality. The Bistrot collection is manufactured just outside Paris and has been widely adopted and imitated by retailers and mass-market brands. The resin handles are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe but can degrade from heat over time and leach microplastics into water.
