Big deal tennis events may happen all the time, but something about this particular moment feels especially tennis-obsessed. Maybe it’s Venus and Serena both coming out with very sporty health and beauty lines, or Luca Guadagnino’s juicy upcoming tennis drama Challengers, but there’s a palpable passion for the posh sport lately.
“Posh” is an especially big vibe for French luxury brand Christofle’s new collaboration with Roland-Garros, also known as the French Open. The brand stashed a whole bunch of cutlery inside a tennis court-colored ball (er, egg) that no one in their right minds would want coming toward them. The reference for the design is subtle, accented with hints of the edge of a chalk-lined court beside the elegant logos for each brand. The end result is a chic, unique piece of upscale dining that doesn’t immediately inspire thoughts of tennis out of context, but is likely to register as a fun easter egg (ha) for those in the know.
