The 10 Best Modern Cutlery Sets to Give Your Table the Wow Factor

The Goa range by Cutipol is arguably one of the most popular cutlery ranges in the world. Notoriously difficult to track down in certain colourways, it flies off of the shelves as soon as it comes into stock, making it as exclusive as it is coveted. With impossibly sleek shapes and contrasting resin handles, the original silver and black colourway is the ultimate in modern cutlery sets.

So good we’ve named it twice. Over the years, the classic Goa black and silver colourway has been joined by a wide variety of statement shades like navy, pink, mint green and red and the metal heads have also been given a makeover with gold and rose gold versions now available. So why not go for modern and colourful?

Stunningly simple, Rondo has subtle angular curves to bring modern flair to any table setting. Available in four colour variations, it oozes sophistication and it’s so simple it can also be a fresh update for more traditional tableware. Versatility at its finest.

Seletti are nothing if not unique and this signature style of course extends to their cutlery. Clunky metal key designs are not modern per se, but when turned into eye-catching Keytlery are just what your statement table setting needs. Whimsical in design, they are modern with a twist of the traditional and are certain to be instant talking points at the dinner table. Available in modern gold finish, they are without a doubt one of the most unique modern cutlery designs out there.

Other key hues seen more and more on modern cutlery designs now include the ever-popular copper and super sleek matt black. The effortlessly cool Scandinavian Hune cutlery from Broste Copenhagen is available in both these fabulous shades along with the classic silver for you to bring a healthy dose of Scandi to the dinner table. With smooth, sleek handles and a subtly angled edge, it is a fresh update which will stand the design test of time for years to come.

Nearly identical to the ever popular Goa range, Moon is its all metal sister and also deserves a place on the list of top modern cutlery sets. In a selection of shiny and matt metallic finishes, it can even be mixed with the Goa range to create a truly unique table setting.

Another beautifully modern cutlery range from Essentials is Broadway which looks straight out of a painfully trendy New York restaurant. In a shiny black finish, which is a rarity for black cutlery as most are matt, it has a chic patent quality which will set your table apart from the rest. Elegantly thin, it’s a strikingly modern cutlery set to add some drama to meal times.

The elegance of the knife in this cutlery set takes the design of the Duna range to new heights and it uniquely contrasts with the angular handles of the rest of the utensils in collection. Particularly striking in matt black, it’s a modern classic and will always be a winner for us.

So this set is less about the cutlery itself and all about the presentation. Do you want your cutlery to really make a splash at dinner? Then why not serve it before the first course in its own egg-shaped display case. Wildly indulgent, this Christofle set has cracked the market and is the next big thing in cutlery design.
