01 THE STORY

From Sketch to Table

03 DESIGNER NOTE

A note from Odd Leikvoll

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.
