Sambonet's Skin features an unusual textured design that gives a tiled look to the top of each handle; in this case, the handle is a tapered flat shape with the 3-dimension tile design polished to a high mirror finish. Skin is specifically designed to coordinate with the Rosenthal TAC Skin pattern, but works well with any textured contemporary dinnerware design. Each piece is made of top quality 18/10 Stainless Steel, and is backstamped Sambonet, which adds a luxurious touch to each piece. Sambonet SKIN is designed and crafted for use in the finest restaurants, but is perfect for your home, and is completely dishwasher safe.
