Why this cutlery holder earns its place
The Terrazzo Cutlery Bin from APS brings an industrial-modern aesthetic to table service while solving a genuine practical problem: keeping cutlery safe, dry and visible. Made from concrete, it has the weight and presence of a design piece rather than mere utility ware — the kind of detail that guests notice and appreciate.
At 135mm tall with a 110mm diameter, it's sized for everyday cutlery without dominating the setting. The interior diameter of 95mm creates enough space to hold a full service of knives, forks and spoons whilst keeping tips protected. A drainage hole in the base prevents water pooling, and the silicone insert dampens the clink of metal against concrete, protecting both the cutlery and the tableware finish. The concrete interior stays dry through service, the drainage hole working continuously to prevent moisture build-up.
The base is finished with a furniture-friendly material that protects tables from scratches and scuffs — the kind of attention to detail that separates thoughtful design from mere functionality. The beige concrete finish photographs well and sits comfortably on any table colour or texture, whether modern minimalist or traditional fine dining.
