The Renessanse Complete Collection brings together the principal place setting with additional pieces for serving, cake and other moments around the table. Across the wider collection, the same classical proportions, deep decorative detailing and flowing forms create a coherent design language, allowing Renessanse to continue naturally from the individual place setting into the shared rituals of serving.

Designed by Haakon Amundsen in 1978, Renessanse combines a classical expression with references to Art Nouveau and the organic forms associated with nature. Its flowing decorative details give the collection a cultured and almost historic character, while the restrained proportions allow it to remain relevant around a contemporary table.

Renessanse is recognised by its pronounced, deeply engraved detailing and softly classical proportions. The decorative language carries clear references to Art Nouveau, where nature-inspired forms and flowing lines became central to the design vocabulary. In Renessanse, these elements give the cutlery depth and character without overwhelming the overall table setting.

The Complete Collection allows the distinctive Renessanse design language to extend beyond the essential dinner setting into serving and specialised pieces. This continuity is particularly meaningful for a collection with such a recognisable character: the same classical lines, engraved details and nature-inspired ornament can accompany the table through different courses and shared servings, creating a more considered whole.

Renessanse was designed by Haakon Amundsen for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 1978. The collection translates Art Nouveau references and nature-inspired ornament into functional Scandinavian cutlery, creating a distinctive meeting between decorative heritage and everyday use. Its enduring character has allowed Renessanse to remain part of life around the table for decades.
