History
QUALITY, STYLE AND EXPERIENCE AT THE TABLE. In 1856, Giuseppe Sambonet, a Fine Arts graduate and the son of a nobleman from Vercelli, obtained his warrant as Master Goldsmith and established the company, Giuseppe Sambonet, depositing his seal bearing the initials “GS” at the Turin mint. At the beginning of the twentieth century his company was the official purveyor to many nobles, including the Duchess of Genoa and the Count of Turin. Always in step with the times, Sambonet has stood out for its progressive spirit in the production field. It is the first in Italy to have a system capable to add to a massive silverware the electroplating process. Already by 1938, Sambonet started developing sophisticated industrial technologies to produce stainless steel, making its way to
the silver plating process. In 1947, it started producing stainless steel knives and blades using its own technology. It conquered the international market in 1956, by being chosen – among 53 competitors – to supply the Cairo Hilton Hotel with a hollowware line that is still in its collection today. This marked the beginning of the company’s great tradition of supplying world-class hotels and restaurants. Starting from the Sixties, Sambonet began a series of collaborations that would have lead to collections that affirm and spread the company’s focus on design. Roberto Sambonet, in particular, created collections of primary importance, such as the “Pesciera”, the “Center line” and “Linea 50” trays that can be admired at the MoMA in New York.
