Choosing within the Amazone collection

Why is the Amazone collection well-known?

It is one of Guy Degrenne's emblematic accessible cutlery sets: a compromise between the sober aesthetics expected of the French house and a quality-price ratio that makes it a household reference. The deliberately neutral design adapts to all table styles.

What does "18/0 stainless steel" mean and how does it differ from "18/10"?

"18/0" means 18% chromium and 0% nickel: this is robust stainless steel, slightly more magnetic, often used for everyday cutlery and table services. "18/10" contains 10% nickel, giving it deeper shine and better long-term corrosion resistance. Amazone is 18/0, making it a solid and accessible choice.

Which piece should I start with for an Amazone service?

For a starter household, the 24-piece cutlery set covers the essentials (6 forks, 6 table spoons, 6 knives, 6 teaspoons) for 6-person service. To complete an existing set, start with the sets of 6 forks and 6 teaspoons, which are the most-used pieces every day.

Is the Amazone collection dishwasher-safe?

Yes, 18/0 stainless steel withstands the dishwasher. To preserve shine over time, avoid heavily chlorinated detergents, separate cutlery from other utensils, and wipe on machine exit to avoid limescale marks.
