A beautiful red color now decorates the walls of the shop. This particularly warm color evokes the alchemy of metal work in the furnace of the forge. It is observed by two giant bees that adorn the walls – a nod to the famous Laguiole pocket knives. The table knives are displayed much like silverware so the visitor has time to admire the workmanship on the various knives.

The shop has a contemporary spirit, with materials and object reminiscent of the Aveyron area of France. Note the presence Nontronnaise cutlery displayed separately.
