Intro­duced in 1975, Pott 33 flat­ware is one of Carl Pott’s later yet most endur­ing designs. Crafted from high-grade stain­less steel, Pott 33 reflects the designer’s deep commit­ment to Bauhaus prin­ci­ples: utility, propor­tion, and refined simplic­ity. The five-piece set includes a table spoon, table fork, salad fork, table knife with micro-serra­tion, and a tea spoon — each metic­u­lously hand-finished in Germany.

Though dish­washer-safe, Pott recom­mends hand washing to preserve the fine edge of the knife and main­tain the subtle surface qual­i­ties. With regular care or occa­sional refur­bish­ment through Pott’s work­shop, the flat­ware will remain as endur­ing as the design itself.

Pott 33 is modernist crafts­man­ship at its most grace­ful — thought­ful, func­tional, and made to last a lifetime.

Carl Pott

Germany

The true design legacy of Pott flatware began in 1932, when Carl Pott joined his father's (Carl Hugo Pott) workshop and immediately established his reputation as a brilliant, uncompromising flatware designer. Rejecting the decorative flourishes of his era, Pott stripped cutlery down to a functionalist ideal, treating design as meticulous, surgical calculation. This commitment quickly earned him recognition on a grand scale: in the 1950s, Pott flatware was chosen for the initial flatware of Deutsche Lufthansa passenger machines, and his Pott 22 pattern (designed 1955) achieved global icon status as the official flatware for the 1972 Olympic Village in Munich. Carl Pott's work is celebrated as a high-water mark of modern and mid-century functionalism, proving that true simplicity possesses lasting, official weight.
