Arne Jacobsen
From steel to silver: Cylinda-Line de luxeDoes your home bar need a lift? Or are you looking for an exclusive present for the person, who has everything? Then Stelton has the solution: Arne Jacobsen's world famous bar series Cylinda-Line exquisitely made in 925s Sterling silver.
The bar series consists of a cocktail mixer with a spoon, shaker, ice bucket with a pair of tongs, a pot containing 0,75 litres with a icelip, small trays for wine-glasses, and a serving tray.
The new bar series in Sterling silver was launched in Denmark in the autumn of 2004 - based on the design and manufacturing from 1967. It is sold to the rest of the world with exhibitions in London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Tokyo.
A limited production volume - and perhaps the price as well - indicates that this is luxury for the few.
"It is truly unique design products made of a fantastic material. And it takes much more resources to manufacture than steel," explains Stelton's Managing Director, Michael Ring, and adds: "The buyers will be men and women to whom money is not an issue. The fact that so few sets are produced contributes to making the series so attractive."
"There is no doubt that Stelton's core products are meant to be common property. But Arne Jacobsen's smooth and classic design deserves to be celebrated with this grandiose renewal. It has had a unique significance for Stelton for 40 years," says Michael Ring and stresses that the bar series in silver is launched at exactly the right time. "There is a wide interest for Stelton around the world at the moment."
Futuristic luxury
Recently, the public could experience Stelton's futuristic use of form in the science fiction film "I, Robot" starring Will Smith. The film is set in the future - 30 years from now. Suddenly you see Cylinda-Line products as a part of the interior. This clearly shows how popular Stelton's design is and how it still has an aura of being ahead of its time.
"Other companies pay huge sums to get their products exposed in big international films. But Stelton receives this for free - and that quite regularly! It is indeed a compliment," says Stelton's Marketing Director Torben Kasimzade. "So far Stelton has been exposed in some 20 films."
All over the world Stelton is sold in exclusive design shops. In five star restaurants and expensive hotels tables are laid with Stelton products. Already, Stelton signals top class design to the global audience. Therefore it is quite natural to bring Cylinda-Line one exclusive step further and produce it in silver.
Sensitive silver
There is a big difference between working with silver and steel. Therefore it was no easy task to expand the production at Stelton's factory based in Fårevejle (100 km north-west of Copenhagen) to comprise the handling of silver. Silver is much more delicate to work with. But with the assistance of a professional silversmith one succeeded.
"You cannot touch the silver without wearing gloves, otherwise the acid from your fingers will leave marks on it. A hair from a brush can leave a mark, too," says project manager Jens Hansen. Of course, the final results are fabulous and finest pieces of art & craftsmanship.
