Questions about Hardanger Fjord Cutlery Set 48 Pieces

What is included in the Hardanger Bestikk Fjord 48-piece cutlery set?

The Fjord 48-piece set creates a complete table setting for twelve people. It includes twelve dinner knives, twelve dinner forks, twelve dinner spoons and twelve teaspoons. Together, the four essential pieces allow Fjord's long handles, polished surfaces and softly balanced proportions to repeat with a calm and consistent rhythm around the table.

What is the design story behind Hardanger Bestikk Fjord?

Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 2000, Fjord is an expression of Scandinavian minimalism shaped through soft, precise lines. Its elongated handles and gently rounded contours create an understated silhouette in which proportion and balance become the defining details. The result is a design that feels quiet and refined without losing its distinctive character.

What makes the Fjord design distinctive?

Fjord is characterised by long handles, soft transitions and a clean polished surface. Rather than relying on ornament, the design finds its identity in carefully controlled proportions and subtle detailing. Light travels clearly across the stainless steel, emphasising the elongated form and giving each piece an elegant, composed presence around the table.

What are the dimensions and material of the Fjord 48-piece set?

Fjord is made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and is dishwasher-safe. The dinner knife measures 23 cm, the dinner fork 19.9 cm, the dinner spoon 20.5 cm and the teaspoon 14 cm. These elongated proportions are central to Fjord's visual identity and contribute to its balanced feeling in the hand.

Who designed Hardanger Bestikk Fjord?

Fjord was designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 2000. The collection reflects a Scandinavian approach in which function, proportion and restraint define the character of an object. Its soft lines and precise details allow Fjord to contribute quietly to both the visual atmosphere and the guest experience around the table.
