Hollow Handle Pieces

Hollow handle is a term used to describe a standard method of flatware construction. These pieces have a sterling silver handle with an interior portion where a shafted piece is cemented secure — most knives and some large serving pieces use this construction method. Typically, the upper portion of the piece is made using 18/10 stainless steel or hardened steel if it is a knife blade.

Epoca Collection in Sterling

Wilkens Epoca Sterling Silver Flatware Collection

The Wilkens Epoca Sterling Silver Flatware Collection represents the visionary work of Prof. Wolf Karnagel, one of the most influential designers in twentieth-century table culture. Known for his numerous contributions to leading porcelain manufacturers and for designing the complete on-board service for Deutsche Lufthansa in the 1980s, Karnagel brought exceptional precision, purpose, and clarity to every project. His work, shaped by Bauhaus ideals, is distinguished by disciplined refinement down to the smallest detail.

Created for Wilkens in 1975, the Epoca pattern is characterized by its consistently linear form and exceptional tactile quality. The design features geometric proportions of compelling balance, perceptible material volume, and precisely defined edges. Broad, smooth surfaces and rigorously clear silhouettes give the pattern an assured presence and reflect an uncompromising design philosophy rooted in functional beauty.

Each piece is handcrafted in Germany in premium 925 sterling silver. The weight, finish, and carefully judged proportions highlight the mastery of Wilkens silversmiths and underscore the enduring relevance of Karnagel’s design. The result is flatware that is visually striking in its purity while offering exceptional comfort in the hand.

Epoca is a celebrated, multi-award-winning pattern that appeals to those who appreciate modernist design, architectural clarity, and the intrinsic elegance of meticulously crafted sterling silver. Its disciplined geometry and sculptural precision make it a distinguished choice for contemporary and traditionally inspired interiors alike.

The Lanam Shop is pleased to offer the Wilkens Epoca Sterling Silver Flatware Collection as individual pieces and complete sets, along with coordinating serving utensils. The pattern is also produced in silver-plated and stainless-steel editions, continuing the legacy of one of Wilkens’ most influential modern designs.
