From Sketch to Table
A pattern begins before the steel is shaped. In Nina, the line moves softly — drawn from Norwegian nature, ornament and the rhythm of the set table.

S- and C-shaped curves move through the handle like small traces of rosemaling. Ornament becomes part of the balance.
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 Nina Dessert Set is created for serving dessert to six people and includes six dessert spoons together with one serving spoon. The dessert spoons measure 15 cm and the serving spoon 22 cm. Together, the seven pieces extend Nina's floral ornamentation and softly curved forms into the final courses of the table, creating a coherent setting for dessert and shared serving.
The Nina dessert spoons are deliberately proportioned between a teaspoon and a dinner spoon, giving them a size suited specifically to dessert. Their smaller scale preserves the collection's graceful character, while the floral detailing and curved forms ensure that the pieces remain unmistakably part of the Nina family.
Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 1998, Nina is characterised by floral details, flowing curves and a warm, expressive presence. The collection was conceived to bring a sense of tenderness and occasion to the table. In the Dessert Set, that character feels especially natural, turning the final course into another considered part of the experience around the table.
The Nina Dessert Set is made from 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. The polished surface catches the light across the curved forms and ornamental details, while the stainless steel provides the durability required for both everyday use and more celebratory occasions.
Nina was designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 1998. Across the collection, Leikvoll combines floral ornament, asymmetry and functional proportions to create a distinctive Scandinavian design language. The Dessert Set carries that same identity into the quieter, shared moments that often conclude the experience around the table.
