Twisted to perfection – The design of Christofle Vertigo
The legendary French interior and product designer Andrée Putman created the "Vertigo" collection for Christofle in 2000. She was named the "aesthetic conscience of modernity" by the style bible "Vogue" during her lifetime. Her design concept was a balancing act between discipline and revolt that yielded simple, clear, and functional designs.
The emblematic ring of the "Vertigo" silverware collection is an ingeniously simple design element full of poetic meaning. The "imperfect" asymmetry imbues the stiff silverware with life: The ring's shape is the same on all objects but looks new and different on every object and from every angle, telling a whimsical story to the mindful observer.
Andrée Putman gave the Vertigo collection a timelessly modern message: Life is not perfect – and beautiful precisely for that reason.
