La Georgette An essential souvenir for your table, available in Saint Lizier.

La Georgette, an innovative cutlery set that impresses with its originality and practicality

The Georgette, considered a multifunctional utensil, is the result of a wonderful story: that of a nature enthusiast inspired by his travels. Combining the functions of a spoon, fork, often a knife, and, on some models, a teaspoon, the Georgette is an essential addition to your table —a superb 3-in-1 utensil inspired by a paw print, conceived in Canada and crafted in Ariège, France. Biomimicry takes on its full meaning with Jean-Louis Orengo, a pioneering designer and inventor of the Georgette.

The unlikely story of a footprint that invites itself to the table

Life is full of surprises, and the Georgette is one of them ! While its story dates back to around 1988/89, Jean-Louis's passion for this innovation remains undiminished. It was during an expedition to the Canadian Far North that this nature lover focused on a wolf's paw print. Among forests, lakes, and rivers, this promising imprint led him on an extraordinary adventure, guided by Darwin's theory of evolution. After several years of research and reflection, it became a magnificent hybrid cover with diverse functions. From the bear's paw to the human hand, the Georgette is a beautiful demonstration of species adaptation, a central theme in Jean-Louis's ichnological studies.

A superb range of Georgettes to discover in Saint-Lizier

Slicing, peeling, spreading, pricking, grating, scaling… The Georgette is a truly versatile tool distinguished by its elegant design and impeccable finish. Its unique shape combines the functions of a fork with its tines, a knife thanks to a combination of shapes (inspired by the functionality of handles), and a spoon with its bowl designed for liquids. While each part of this exceptional utensil offers an independent use, the combination of all three is equally appealing, allowing you to bring together all the flavors of a dish in a single bite. A piece of meat with its rich sauce, a decadent dessert with chocolate sauce, a piece of cheese with jam… Each Georgette is unique in its design and use, whether in the kitchen, at the table, or even on a hike with the Georgette Adventure. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel for a secure grip and unlimited screw life, it comes in a variety of finishes (polished, matte, silver, black titanium, gold, or bronze) and even in a plant-based and compostable version for your events! Whether you're looking for a lady, an adventurer, a unique piece, a lunchtime item, or something more plant-based, choose your favorite Georgette!
