What we believe in
You don’t follow trends — you define them. Your cutlery should too.

Timeline

December 2024
Co-founders Gregor, Jurij, and Mateo come together to discuss the idea of creating custom silverware through 3D printing — an idea that originated from another company that Jurij and Gregor had worked on.

3D printing enables complete design freedom, use of different metals, and full customization for each customer.

“Our shared passion for design, fashion, motorboats, sailing, and sport aircraft has always shaped how we see the world. With this project, we’ve found a way to bring all those inspirations to life — merging elegance, precision, and purpose into every piece we create.”

Mateo, Co-founder of CELESTE

January, February 2025
Ideas begin to take shape and the first design considerations are made, but the process proves more challenging than initially expected.

We decide to collaborate with architects to create better sketches and refine the initial designs.

March 2025
This leads to first proper CAD designs
An idea is born: to offer customers three distinct silverware collections, each tailored to different levels of exclusivity and  personalization.
1. LUX Collection

Refined, timeless designs with optional logo personalization.

2. DELUXE Collection

Fully bespoke pieces crafted in collaboration with our designers, with enhanced artistic options.

3. ROYAL Collection

Ultimate, one-of-a-kind masterpieces using precious metals, rare stones, and limitless customization.

"We realized we were essentially creating jewelry for the table — and urgently needed a skilled jeweler to take our vision further."

Jurij, Co-founder of CELESTE

First Customers

We’ve begun collaborating with the owners of a Michelin-starred Alpine restaurant to design a bespoke cutlery set that enhances their guest experience and reflects their unique culinary identity. Alongside this flagship project, we’re actively engaging with other high-end dining venues while deepening our market research and onboarding new clients across the luxury hospitality sector.

 FUTURE
Strengthening Our Presence in Fine Dining

Having already begun building our reputation in the world of high-end restaurants, we continue to collaborate with luxury dining venues to refine and showcase our bespoke silverware. These early partnerships are setting the tone for Celeste’s visual identity and standard of elegance.

Expanding into Hotels and Private Estates

With a solid foundation in fine dining, our next step is to introduce Celeste into luxury hotels and private residences. These environments allow us to extend our design philosophy into curated living spaces where refinement and storytelling matter deeply.

Showcasing at Yacht and Private Jet Events

To reach a global audience of connoisseurs, we will create dedicated exhibition sets for premier events such as yacht shows and private jet expos. These platforms will allow us to visually express the essence of Celeste and demonstrate how our products complement the most exclusive lifestyles.
