Designed by the prestigious British designer Robin Levien and developed in joint a partnership between Herdmar, Studio Levien, and John Lewis Department Stores, the Century project was presented in 2011 as a tribute and above all celebration of Herdmar centenary.

The project initially designated as "propeller", had in the movement of the aeroplane engine propellers its main inspiration, allocating to the vertical blade knife the main identity element. With simple lines, created in a flat base of four millimetres, Century has on comfort its strongest point.

The straight lines contrast with the rounded surfaces, promoting a singular ergonomics that claim for sophistication without missing the essence of its functionality.
