Renewing a tradition that dates back to its birth, Christofle exhibited in Dubai for the World Expo 2021.
On the occasion of the World Expo 2021, Christofle creates and exhibits an extraordidnary piece reflecting its exceptional know-how.
Christofle unveils for the first time the entire collection of its iconic MOOD, delicately engraved with the Skylines of the world's greatest cities.
The next World Expo was held from October 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, in Dubai under the theme "Connecting minds and creating the future through sustainability, mobility and opportunity".
Christofle has taken this opportunity to revive an almost two hundred year old tradition: to represent the exceptional know-how of French goldsmiths to the world.
Already in 1851, at the very first Universal Exhibition in London, Christofle received the Prize Medal.
Today, Christofle is once again putting all of its unique silversmithing expertise to work by creating an exceptional piece that incorporates all of the skills that have made the brand famous since its creation in 1830.
To illustrate the concept of this World Expo, Christofle has chosen to create a tree of life, which symbolises Christofle's attachment to its history, its roots, but also its international influence.
The tree has its roots in France, the cradle of the brand, and then develops into a globe. This globe, which houses the Burj Khalifa tower at its heart, is a real technical feat, shaped and chiselled by hand using the planishing technique.
Gold and silver butterflies, lacquered, engraved, openwork or set with stones adorn the branches, polished and chiselled by hand.
In the end, a tree 2 m high and 1 m in diameter weighs nearly 100 kg, including 1 kg of solid silver and 21 g of gold. It is composed of 37 structural elements and decorated with 142 butterflies.
The tree of life required 750 hours of work in the Christofle Haute Orfèvrerie workshops.
To celebrate this exceptional event, Christofle has decided to offer for sale for the first time and for one month only,
the entire MOOD Skyline collection on christofle.com.
Iconic product of the House, the MOOD is decorated in this collection with delicately engraved skylines of the world's greatest capitals:
Paris, London, New York, Shanghai or Tokyo...
Each piece of the collection, which is normally only available in its own country, is proposed in two formats:
A set of 24 silver-plated metal cutlery pieces housed in an egg-shaped shell measuring 30 cm high and 20 cm in diameter
The Mood Coffee set of 6 silver plated espresso spoons nestled in a smaller egg shell measuring 13 cm high and 8.7 cm in diameter
