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 Serving Set brings together the principal serving pieces needed at the shared table. Each piece carries the same floral ornamentation, polished surfaces and softly curved lines as the rest of the Nina collection, allowing the design language to continue naturally from the individual place setting into the way food is presented and shared.
The serving pieces translate Nina's expressive, floral design into larger utensils intended for the centre of the table. Their softly curved forms and ornamental details give them a warm and decorative presence, while the proportions remain practical and balanced in use. The result is serving cutlery that feels like an integral part of the collection rather than an accessory added afterwards.
Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 1998, Nina is characterised by floral details, asymmetrical lines and flowing curves. The collection was created with a sense of warmth and occasion, bringing a more expressive character to Scandinavian cutlery design. In the serving pieces, this identity becomes especially visible as the design moves from the individual place setting to the shared space at the centre of the table.
The Nina Serving Set is made from 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. The polished finish allows light to move across the curved forms and ornamental details, while the durable stainless steel makes the pieces suitable for both everyday gatherings 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 recognisable Scandinavian design language. The serving pieces extend that language into the shared rituals of presenting and passing food around the table.
