Inspired by… the Med’s Taormina
Sambonet has added a new relief to its Jet Set collection – Taormina – its motif inspired by the artistic richness of the Mediterranean city’s varied cultural heritage. The body of the Jet Set Taormina cutlery is ruled both front and back by a succession of geometric ornaments that evoke Byzantine art. Circles and rhombuses stolen from the mosaics and floorings of the 6th century, created in the Norman-era by artists from Constantinople and still present in the Sicilian city today. Taormina joins Jet Set cutlery collections inspired by Venice, Siena and Portofino.
