From Sketch to Table
Mira begins with a slimmer line. The form is delicate, defined and light in its visual expression.
02 THE DETAILS
The Details
A narrow handle gives the series its character. The detail is found in proportion, lightness and the polished edge.

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 Mira Serving Set is made from 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. The material gives the pieces the durability needed for regular serving while preserving the clean definition and understated character that distinguish the Mira collection.
