To commemorate our 90th anniversary in 2020, we launched eight edge profiles so as to provide our customers with a new experience.

While the luster and warmth of a pewter countertop remain unchanged, the refined lines of these more modern and industrial-style edge profiles also attract new customers. The quest for comfort and beauty is at the core of this new collection. The absence of decorative heads and drawings on these edge profiles does not mean that we have completely banned all ornamentation; it is quite the opposite.

We absolutely do not wish to be monolithic. However, in a sometimes contradictory manner, the current fashion tends to rely on timeless lines, on older buildings (namely early-20th century North-American ones) or on styles borrowed from classical furniture.

We have also noticed that the 'Countertop' is evolving in its nature, in its use, in its position in space arrangement. People have been having more and more meals on it in the past few years. Today, people share meals on it. Cocktail bars are also evolving, as everything is brewed before your eyes, and the bottles and ingredients for your mixture are exhibited at glass level. We thus need larger tops.

This is how we came up with the new Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme cocktail bar with a custom-made Edge Profile for its countertop. The Bistrots need time, languor and memories… and yet, these new countertops have already found their place there, at the heart of the old Paris… and even abroad. The chef of the “Caves Saint Gilles” just off Place des Vosges has chosen the edge profile n.101 (8cm).
