Forge de Laguiole | Briar
Description
Briar handles paired with Forge de Laguiole's iconic stainless steel craftsmanship and two stainless steel bolsters. Each collection is assembled according to your personal selections and crafted especially by artisans in France.
The handles are crafted from carefully selected briar wood, prized for its exceptional density, intricate grain patterns and rich natural warmth. Traditionally used in the making of fine French pipes, briar develops slowly underground, creating remarkable swirls and textures that make every piece entirely unique. Its distinctive character has long been appreciated by artisans seeking materials that combine beauty with remarkable durability.
Carefully shaped and polished by hand, briar acquires a soft lustre over time, revealing ever more depth and personality through years of shared meals and celebrations. The warm amber and chestnut tones bring an understated elegance to both contemporary and traditional table settings, making briar a favourite among those who appreciate authentic craftsmanship and natural materials.
