Scala is elevation through elegance. Born from the meeting of contemporary simplicity and the striking verticality of Art Deco — an ascent that echoes the architectural language inspiring this design.
A style defined by skyscrapers with fluted façades, vertical alignments, and precise geometry, where repeated lines create a steady rhythm, enhancing the sense of height, harmony, and modernity. Scala brings this idea to the table. Its delicately fluted, symmetrical handles recall the illuminated columns of the era’s buildings, adding a touch of timeless elegance and minimalist sophistication — subtle, yet distinctive.
Founded in 1911, Herdmar stands as an international reference in the art of designing & manufacturing table cutlery, drawing on design and know-how to transform each piece into an expression of style at the table.
