From Sketch to Table
Ramona begins with a grounded line. The form is calm, balanced and shaped with a restrained ornamental character.

The handle carries its detail quietly. Polished steel, steady curves and a sense of composed tradition.
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 Ramona 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 Ramona's brushed surfaces, clear proportions and understated character to repeat with a calm and familiar rhythm around the table.
Designed by Norwegian designer Odd Leikvoll in 1982, Ramona has become one of Hardanger Bestikk's defining designs. Its character is deliberately straightforward: clean lines, balanced proportions and a muted brushed surface create cutlery that feels warm, familiar and quietly confident. Rather than belonging to a particular design moment, Ramona was conceived as an enduring object for everyday life around the table.
Ramona is characterised by its brushed stainless-steel finish, which gives the surface a soft, matt and tactile appearance. The restrained reflection allows the clear geometry of the pieces to remain visible without appearing overly polished or formal. This muted surface is central to Ramona's robust and understated identity.
Ramona is made from 18/10 stainless steel and is dishwasher-safe. The dinner knife measures 21 cm, the dinner fork 18 cm, the dinner spoon 18 cm and the teaspoon 13 cm. The compact, balanced proportions contribute to the familiar and comfortable character that has helped make Ramona an enduring part of Scandinavian table culture.
Ramona was designed by Norwegian designer and Hardanger Bestikk founder Odd Leikvoll and introduced in 1982. It has since become the company's best-selling and most iconic cutlery design. Its longevity reflects the strength of a simple idea: durable materials, functional proportions and a restrained visual identity designed to become a familiar part of life around the table.
