A French Legacy Arrives in Dubai
Puiforcat, the French maison known for elevating silversmithing into an art form since 1820, brings its heritage to Dubai for a special showcase at Hermès.
What began as a modest cutlery workshop in Paris has now grown into one of the most respected names in the world of fine silver, a house where tradition, precision, and modern imagination live side by side.
Craft at Its Purest
Inside Puiforcat’s Pantin workshop, artisans still work as their predecessors once did: hammering, engraving, chiseling, spinning, and shaping each piece fully by hand. The gestures haven’t changed for centuries, and neither has the obsession with excellence.
The result: objects that feel both timeless and deeply human.
Heritage Meets Contemporary Creation
While the maison fiercely protects its savoir-faire, it never stops looking forward. Under artistic directors Charlotte Macaux Perelman and Alexis Fabry, Puiforcat collaborates with leading artists to reimagine what silver can be in the 21st century.
Their newest release, Silver Set 2025, created with British artist Rachel Whiteread, is a perfect example of architectural modern design.
The Dubai Showcase
For its Dubai presentation, Puiforcat unveils the Silver Set 2025 alongside a curated selection of classics from its archives; from Art Deco pieces shaped by Jean Puiforcat’s iconic eye to contemporary designs that push silversmithing into the future.
It’s a rare chance to see centuries of French craft distilled into one experience.
More Than Objects, An Art de Vivre
Puiforcat pieces are meant to be lived with, not locked away. From custom-engraved cutlery to one-of-a-kind tableware, the maison continues to make everyday rituals feel extraordinary.
