Pause for thought

Punctuate your dining table with Puiforcat's latest collection of tableware. Aptly named Virgule, meaning 'comma' in French, the solid-silver cutlery marries more than 180 years of craftsmanship with unadorned modern design. Simple but striking, the 24-piece set, which includes implements for fish courses, pastry servers and soup ladles, features asymmetrical comma-shaped handles and subtly curved blades. Forks are $2,570 and knives (below) are $2,440. The range is available from Exclusivites, shop 122, Prince's Building, Central, tel: 2877 2815.
