The Renessanse Dessert Set brings the collection's classical lines and deeply engraved detailing into the final course of the table. The smaller dessert pieces preserve the same cultivated character as the principal place setting, allowing the distinctive Renessanse design language to continue naturally into dessert and shared serving.
The dessert pieces translate Renessanse's Art Nouveau-inspired ornament into a more delicate scale. Flowing lines, nature-inspired detailing and carefully balanced proportions give the pieces a refined presence, while the smaller format makes the ornament feel particularly intricate and expressive in the hand.
Designed by Haakon Amundsen, Renessanse draws on the decorative language of Art Nouveau and its fascination with organic forms. The collection combines classical proportions with flowing, nature-inspired ornament, creating cutlery with a sense of history and culture while remaining designed for contemporary life around the table.
Renessanse is crafted in stainless steel and designed for regular use around the table. The material provides a durable foundation for the collection's detailed ornamentation, allowing the engraved forms and classical proportions to remain both decorative and functional over time.
Renessanse was designed by Haakon Amundsen for Hardanger Bestikk. His design brings together Art Nouveau references, organic ornament and Scandinavian functionality, creating a collection in which decorative heritage becomes part of everyday use. The Dessert Set carries that same language into the quieter final moments around the table.
