Ercuis "Élégance Regards"
The "Élégance Regards" collection by Ercuis captures the art of refined observation through its meticulously balanced designs that invite a second glance. This poetic series embodies the French notion of "regard" – the thoughtful, appreciative gaze – with each piece revealing subtle details upon closer inspection. The design language plays with light and shadow through delicate fluting and precise linear patterns that resemble the intricate ironwork of Parisian balconies, creating a visual rhythm across the collection.
Available in sterling silver (925/1000) and silver-plated versions, the collection showcases Ercuis's technical mastery through its alternating polished and brushed finishes. The substantial weight (approximately 150 grams per serving piece) provides reassuring heft, while the ergonomic curves ensure comfortable handling. Signature details include discreetly placed soleil motifs – radiating sunburst engravings that only become visible when light hits the surfaces at certain angles, embodying the collection's theme of discovery and appreciation.
Perfect for hosts who view tableware as conversation pieces, "Élégance Regards" transforms serving into performance art. These are designs that reward attention – where the pleasure lies as much in noticing the details as in using the pieces themselves.
