Vida Bamboo Stainless Steel Flatware with Natural Handles by Beatriz Ball - 5-Piece Place Setting

Real bamboo handles give this Vida place setting a natural, tactile contrast to silver-colored 18-8 stainless steel. The five pieces comprise a dinner fork, salad fork, soup spoon, dinner knife and teaspoon for one setting. Made exclusively for Beatriz Ball, the set coordinates naturally with bamboo-pattern dinnerware while remaining useful with plain white plates.

“Real bamboo brings a natural rhythm to a place setting without another printed pattern. I would pair these handles with a quiet napkin, allowing the grain and the silver-colored metal to supply the detail.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Maker / Heritage

Cuban-born designer Beatriz Ball began working with metal artisans outside Mexico City in 1991. Her signature metalware is still made one piece at a time in the brand’s own foundry in Mexico: sand casting gives the forms their character, and successive hand-polishing stages bring out the alloy’s silvery luster. More than twelve pairs of hands take part in the making. The appeal is that combination of expressive shape and useful purpose, with the warmth of handwork and none of silver’s routine tarnish polishing.

Vida’s real-bamboo-handled utensils are made exclusively for Beatriz Ball. Their appeal is practical as well as decorative: familiar serving tools gain the warm, natural character of bamboo.
