 Sculpture for the table setting. Mar 20, 2008
By L. Ekker
"Guiding Directors through the Visual Effects minefield."
We bought some sets of these a couple of years ago, and we love them. We are both designers and appreciate quality and function as highly as form. These excel in all regards. Each piece is a tiny exquisite sculpture, and the quality is unwaveringly perfect. I can't say why the other reviewer here got such lousy quality, but ours are flawless. Perhaps there are some crappy Chinese knock-offs being sold out there? Everyone who stops to appreciate them comments on how unique and beautiful they are. Our teenage son (who is in design school now too) says the forks are too narrow and the soup spoons to wide. I agree, but can live with these facts easily. If you are wanting to cram a load of chow in your mouth, then don't use the forks, use a soup spoon! HA! Really, the slender forks are so graceful and usable that I love using them, and they slow us down a tad which can only be healthy! Just look at how every single surface is carefully designed and finished. I love how the perfectly circular spoon blends smoothly to the handle. The knives are perfection. In the hand you will wonder why we don't make all knives this shape. In fact there is a line of kitchen knives by Porsche Design that DO have these handles, in a more masculine but fully effective treatment. Look them up and try one. It's a favorite of mine. Design matters. Quality is contagious. Catch it and never look back.

This must be it! Nov 02, 2005

This set was a winner at the 1997 edition of Good Design Int'l Competition. Gerald Gulotta managed, with this project, to bring minimalism to everyone's dinner table. Leveraging reinforcing synergies between form and function, this set will serve your most aesthetically endowed guests as well as your every day's needs.
Each piece of this set is a play of round shapes - hence Rondure. The spoons are perfect circles. The perfectly balanced knives are made of a single piece whose ends seem to be turned round in orthogonal planes - imagine the 1/4 turn of a screw. Finally, the forks' interiors seem to be slightly rounded. Unfortunately, there is no stylistic continuity across the whole Rondure line of products.
As additional suggestion, for an ultimate visual impact, pair this set with contemporary-styled porcelain (Sasaki, Rosenthal, Mikasa, etc.).

Beautiful and dependable Dec 04, 2008
By D. Britz
We purchased eight five-piece place settings and two serving sets over two years ago. We simply can't say enough about them. We looked far and wide for simple, affordable, dependable flatware with ROUND spoons. Well, we finally found them and we have yet to be disappointed. They hold up extremely well to daily use, young children pounding away at them, going through the dishwasher, and are perfect for when we have guests over.
And if that isn't enough for you, the beauty of these pieces transcends generational boundaries. My mother-in-law fell in love with them immediately and she remembered them two years after first seeing them and just asked to receive them as a Christmas/house warming present.

beautiful set and quality Mar 24, 2009
By Contempo
I have had this flatware for about 5 years and really enjoy using it. My entire set is flawless. The round teaspoon is a bit odd shape in the mouth, but I can live with that part. I am wondering if the person who noted poor quality in the crafting of the pieces bought a set that was made in korea. I do not know where mine was made though. I note amazon has two ads on another site for rondure. They both have different ASIN numbers and only one of them has written the original model number of the set, and it does not list where it was made. The other amazon site listed that it was made in korea, and did not have any model number - in fact, they had no model number written. That makes me think the one they listed as made in korea is a copy - could that be it? I am now looking to buy a few more sets, and will be careful as to what i buy and will try to find out more so I do not buy inferiorly crafted pieces.

Nice and original flatware Feb 22, 2009

This is a nice set of flatware. The only cons is that the spoons are a little big.
