Roland Lannier Tableware’s Not Dead! Steak Knife Stainless Jaja

Set of 4 table knives, blades lined with flexible edge guards and wrapped in a luxury table-runner from Le Jacquard Français. Check the pics! 

This idea first came out between a chat with Kobi Ruzicka, from Dier Makr in Hobart, Tasmania and Lannier.  They used stickers from natural wine bottles and crushed tin foil caps. The result looks like punk bands posters from the 80’s, with oysters shells thrown in the middle. Full tang mount, with copper or brass tubing instead of the 3 usual pins, for a change.

Originally from Paris, Roland Lannier moved in Thiers and began training at Perceval Knives in 1997. After holding every position at Perceval, he founded his own business in 2014, bringing over sixteen years of experience and a passion for punk rock music and comics.

Lannier’s goal was to create an aesthetic that captured the spirit of his generation. Rejecting traditional materials like ivory and exotic woods, he embraces synthetic and recycled options such as concrete, vinyl records, comic books, and Scottish tartan.

Inspired by chefs, winemakers, artisans, and designers who push boundaries, Lannier constantly experiments with new forms and materials, making each knife a unique part of the dining experience.

Roland Lannier’s knives are handcrafted in Thiers, with support from local specialists for processes like laser cutting and cryogenic hardening. The workshop, located in a renovated polishing facility, is being updated to better serve visiting clients and future team members.
