DEGRENNE: Crafting Elegance in French Tableware Since 1948

Founding of a Visionary Brand Established in 1948 by a pioneering goldsmith, DEGRENNE has become synonymous with innovative and elegant tableware. From its inception, Guy Degrenne capitalized on the untapped potential of stainless steel, revolutionizing the tableware industry. His groundbreaking idea to repurpose the armored steel from tanks used in the Battle of Normandy into stamping dies for cutlery laid the foundation for DEGRENNE's unique approach to "les Arts de la Table," democratizing silverware production in post-war France.

Evolving Craftsmanship DEGRENNE has continually evolved, maintaining its commitment to French craftsmanship. The brand first made its mark with steel cutlery manufactured in its atelier in Vire, Normandy. By the 1980s, DEGRENNE expanded its expertise to include porcelain, partnering with artisans in Limoges, France, and Alföld, Hungary, to produce distinctive ceramic pieces. The addition of a cutlery factory in Thiers further diversified their offering, ensuring each piece of cutlery from DEGRENNE was crafted with unparalleled precision.

Innovation Meets Tradition In 2016, DEGRENNE introduced the NewCook Expert culinary collection, utilizing its historic stamping factory in Vire. This blend of tradition and innovation underscores DEGRENNE's mastery over its craft, allowing the brand to offer an expansive range of tableware that marries classic techniques with modern aesthetics.

Excellence in French Gastronomy DEGRENNE's commitment to excellence has made it a staple on the tables of renowned chefs and prestigious dining establishments worldwide. Recognized as an "Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant" by the French government, DEGRENNE continues to inspire and innovate in the art of French table setting, enhancing gastronomic experiences with its beautifully designed collections.

The brand offers three distinct collections to cater to various occasions: Daily Design for everyday elegance, Artisanal Nature for a touch of authenticity, and Tradition Gourmet for celebrating special moments. Each collection showcases DEGRENNE's signature style—timeless, elegant, and infused with a touch of whimsy.
