Product Description
Gerald Gulotta creates a new flatware pattern of minimalist perfection. Each piece is an expression of geometric purity, with knives so exquisitely balanced, they stand vertically on edge, and spoons that are perfectly round.
Amazon.com Review
Sleek, modern, and understatedly witty, the Rondure pattern from Dansk has a distinctive look that is equal parts inviting and innovative. Crafted from 18/10 stainless steel for tarnish-resistance and luster, the design combines circular and curved working ends with lean, angular handles. The knives in the line are especially unique, thanks to their distinctive balance and sinuous curves reminiscent of a sea creature. Ideal for stylish everyday dining, Rondure is also special enough for more upscale occasions. Building block of a Rondure collection, this 5-piece place setting includes a salad fork, a dinner fork, a dinner knife, a soupspoon, and a teaspoon. All pieces are pleasantly weighty in the hand, while their attenuated proportions keep them maneuverable. Finished to a mirror gleam, the set is safe in the dishwasher and never needs polishing. --Emily Bedard What's in the Box
1 place setting. Place setting consists of: dinner fork; salad fork; soupspoon; knife; teaspoon. 5 pieces total.

 Sculpture for the table setting. March 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
We bought some sets of these a couple of years ago, and we love them. We are both designers and appreciate quality and function as highly as form. These excel in all regards. Each piece is a tiny exquisite sculpture, and the quality is unwaveringly perfect. I can't say why the other reviewer here got such lousy quality, but ours are flawless. Perhaps there are some crappy Chinese knock-offs being sold out there? Everyone who stops to appreciate them comments on how unique and beautiful they are. Our teenage son (who is in design school now too) says the forks are too narrow and the soup spoons to wide. I agree, but can live with these facts easily. If you are wanting to cram a load of chow in your mouth, then don't use the forks, use a soup spoon! HA! Really, the slender forks are so graceful and usable that I love using them, and they slow us down a tad which can only be healthy! Just look at how every single surface is carefully designed and finished. I love how the perfectly circular spoon blends smoothly to the handle. The knives are perfection. In the hand you will wonder why we don't make all knives this shape. In fact there is a line of kitchen knives by Porsche Design that DO have these handles, in a more masculine but fully effective treatment. Look them up and try one. It's a favorite of mine. Design matters. Quality is contagious. Catch it and never look back.

 Poor quality and customer service from Dansk February 8, 2006
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
I had high hopes for this tableware when I ordered it (not from Amazon btw) based on this review and other reviews of Dansk and the quality. Well boy was I let down when I received the 10 sets - the spoons were mostly not round and had a combination of flat spots along the edges which made them irregular, varying thickness of the edges, various peices had rough spots/edges that were not polished, pitting/cuts in surfaces, scratches, and the just about all the spoons 'drooped down along the bottom adding to the overall distorted looking circles.
My husband and I really like the design and I wanted to find a way to keep it. I tried contacting Dansk several times about a solution, suggested replacing the worst of the pieces individually since the boxes of individual place settings seemed doomed to have problems, but in spite of the message "a customer service representative will respond in 24 hours" I never got a response. Seems that they do not care that their quality is failing miserably nor do they care about customer service at all.
Sorry to say that it looks like I will be forced to return the Dansk :( , buy at your own risk.
This must be it! November 2, 2005

This set was a winner at the 1997 edition of Good Design Int'l Competition. Gerald Gulotta managed, with this project, to bring minimalism to everyone's dinner table. Leveraging reinforcing synergies between form and function, this set will serve your most aesthetically endowed guests as well as your every day's needs.
Each piece of this set is a play of round shapes - hence Rondure. The spoons are perfect circles. The perfectly balanced knives are made of a single piece whose ends seem to be turned round in orthogonal planes - imagine the 1/4 turn of a screw. Finally, the forks' interiors seem to be slightly rounded. Unfortunately, there is no stylistic continuity across the whole Rondure line of products.
As additional suggestion, for an ultimate visual impact, pair this set with contemporary-styled porcelain (Sasaki, Rosenthal, Mikasa, etc.).
