From Sketch to Table
A line can carry a landscape. In Fjord, the form is calm and exact — shaped by clean surfaces, quiet weight and Scandinavian restraint.

Clean lines meet small shifts in light. The polished surface gives the table a precise, composed rhythm.
Odd Leikvoll is the founder of Hardanger Bestikk.
Across several decades, Leikvoll developed some of Hardanger Bestikk’s most recognisable collections, moving between ornament, Scandinavian minimalism and new approaches to surface and construction. His designs were created to function naturally in the hand, while remaining distinctive enough to become part of everyday life around the table.

The Fjord 40-piece set creates a complete table setting for ten people. It includes ten dinner knives, ten dinner forks, ten dinner spoons and ten teaspoons. Together, the four pieces form the essential Fjord place setting and allow the collection's long handles, polished surfaces and softly balanced proportions to repeat naturally around the table.
Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 2000, Fjord is an expression of Scandinavian minimalism shaped through calm, precise lines. Its silhouette is soft rather than severe, combining elongated handles with gentle transitions and carefully considered proportions. The simplicity gives Fjord a quiet presence at the table, while the subtle details create a distinctive identity of its own.
Fjord is characterised by its long handles, softly rounded forms and polished stainless-steel surface. Rather than relying on ornament, the design finds its character in proportion and precision. Light moves cleanly across the polished finish, emphasising the elongated silhouette and giving the cutlery an understated, elegant presence around the table.
Fjord is made from 18/10 stainless steel and finished with a smooth polished surface. The material combines durability for regular use with the clarity required by the collection's minimalist design. Fjord is dishwasher-safe, making it practical for everyday use while preserving its refined expression.
Fjord was designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 2000. Leikvoll created a collection in which Scandinavian simplicity is expressed through proportion rather than decoration: elongated handles, soft contours and precise transitions form a design that feels calm, balanced and immediately recognisable. It reflects Hardanger Bestikk's tradition of creating functional objects that also contribute to the atmosphere and guest experience around the table.
