Tableware & Serveware

This is the collection for the pieces that get noticed before dinner is served. Italian tableware from Casa Bugatti means sculptural objects for the middle of the table: the Kiss salad tongs — two faces leaning in — the Ninna Nanna and Petalo centerpieces, fruit bowls and serving pieces that hold their own when the plates are cleared.

Casa Bugatti has designed tableware in Italy since 1923, and these are the pieces where that design heritage is most visible. They are not background objects. A Kiss tong in 24kt gold plating on a white salad bowl is a conversation; a Petalo centerpiece is the reason someone asks where you shop.

If you are looking for designer tableware as a gift, this collection does the hard work for you. The gold icons — the Kiss tongs above all — are in stock and ship within the week, gift-boxed and ready. For weddings, housewarmings and the friend who already has everything, an object this specific says more than another candle ever will.

For your own table, treat these as modern serveware you actually use: tongs that serve salad, bowls that hold fruit, centerpieces that earn their footprint. The materials are honest — stainless steel, 24kt gold plating on the gift pieces, colored resin where color is wanted — and the shapes are unmistakably Bugatti.

Begin with the piece that stopped you. That is usually the right one.
