From Sketch to Table
Sanna begins with a light botanical trace. The pattern is drawn from apple blossom — simplified into a calm line for the table.

A stylised blossom rests in the surface. The detail is quiet, giving the handle a soft graphic presence.

The Sanna Steak Set creates a dedicated setting for serving steak and other dishes that call for a sharper knife. The set extends Sanna's simple lines and stylised detailing into specialised cutlery, allowing the same contemporary design language to remain present when the menu calls for a more purposeful blade.
The Sanna steak knives combine the collection's calm, contemporary expression with a blade created for cutting through meat and other dishes that require greater sharpness. The functional character of the knife is balanced by Sanna's restrained lines and subtle detailing, allowing performance and visual continuity to become part of the same design.
Introduced in 2025, Sanna represents a new chapter in the Hardanger Bestikk family story. The collection looks back to the character of earlier Hardanger designs while giving that heritage a contemporary expression through simple lines and a stylised pattern. It was conceived as a design rooted in tradition, yet created for new generations and new stories around the table.
Sanna takes inspiration from the apple blossom, a familiar symbol of the Hardanger region and a sign of renewal, hope and a new season. Its combination of delicacy and resilience is reflected in a design that feels robust and enduring while remaining soft and warm in expression. The stylised motif carries this reference to the Hardanger landscape quietly into the collection.
Sanna was created by Frida Leikvoll Meland and Per Finne for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 2025. The collection was conceived as a bridge between the company's design heritage and a new generation. In the Steak Set, that story continues through a more specialised form of cutlery, preserving Sanna's contemporary expression while responding to a specific function at the table.
