The Olive Tree

The Olive tree, primarily found in the Mediterranean, is known for its gnarled, twisted trunk and silvery leaves. They are extremely resilient with the oldest Olive tree, found in Greece, being more than 2000 years old and still bearing fruit. Olive trees have long been a sign of peace, with the olive branch symbol appearing on multiple flags including the flag of the United Nations. Olive wood is also often used to craft fine furniture and sculptures.

Mirror

Our Mirror finish cutlery is highly polished and has a classic look. At Studio William, our cutlery goes through approximately 45 different polishing processes, to achieve the immaculate finish we look for.

Satin

Our satin cutlery is finely brushed, making it soft to the touch and less reflective. It also goes through a similar amount of polishing processes and carefully quality controlled to ensure we have a consistent finish.

Titanium PVD

The Titanium PVD Coating we use on our cutlery is super tough and non-toxic. It is resistant to acid degradation, dishwasher safe, and does not affect the taste of the food.
