| The traditional German flatware manufacturer HEPP is starting out in a completely new direction in the year of its 150th anniversary: the STYLE cutlery range is characterized by its powerful shapes and straight lines and is thus clearly different from other cutlery. Chamfers on the edges of the handles break up the smooth, highly polished surfaces and transfer the same modern design seen in architecture and automotive construction to the world of fine dining.
The uniqueness of this collection is definitely the bowl of the spoon; which is deliberately designed in a "square" shape. Another particular eye-catcher in this collection is the handsome knife with a classically long blade and wide handle. With its optically protruding dimensions, Hepp's STYLE provides an especially suitable accompaniment to modern, capacious dinnerware in any shape.
The excellent balance, and high material strength of four millimeters emphasizes the striking design and the quality of STYLE and at the same time ensures a very pleasant haptic experience when eating.

Since 1863, Hepp has made their name in upscale hotels and restaurants around the world. Hepp's success is founded on their traditional company values such as reliability and quality. Hepp's customers include The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Group and many other fine hotels and restaurants.
| The excellent balance, and high material strength of four millimeters emphasizes the striking design and the quality of Hepp's new STYLE design and at the same time ensures a very pleasant haptic experience when eating. With 17 pieces, STYLE has all the requirements of upmarket catering fully covered. In addition to the highly polished stainless steel 18/10 variant, STYLE from Hepp is also available in silver plated.
Hepp flatware is distributed in North America and the Caribbean by Bauscher USA Inc.
