Bayonne

In 1924, the Basque coast, flourishing as a tourist destination, competed in Art Deco architectural elegance.
Jean Puiforcat, living in Saint‑Jean‑de‑Luz, reinterpreted the understated ornamentation of this seaside resort in his creations, such as the design of the Bayonne sterling silver cutlery.
With only three fine flutings at the base of its handles as decoration, this model with neo‑Basque accents remains timeless to this day.
