Christofle x Karl Lagerfeld Rare Flatware Set Being Auctioned
Need a piece of Karl Lagerfeld for the dinner table? How about 24 pieces? Lagerfeld was a longtime collector of Christofle, the silver specialists, as evidenced by quite a few pieces featured in his estate sales at Sotheby’s in 2021. In 2018, shortly before his death, the designer had collaborated with Christofle on the brand’s signature Mood silverware set, imbuing the distinctive egg-shaped case and flatware with a graphic, Art Deco-inspired pattern rendered in mirror-polished silver and glossy black lacquer. Just one,500 pieces were created — 1,000 with a stainless-steel case and just 500 in black lacquer — and all sold out upon their release.
