What is the design story behind Hardanger Bestikk Tina?
Designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne in 2010, Tina is rooted in modernist principles and Scandinavian design. Its expression is precise and solid, yet subtle curves soften the almost geometric forms. The result is cutlery with an architectural clarity in which function, proportion and restraint become the defining elements.
What makes the Tina design distinctive?
Tina is characterised by clean lines, almost geometric forms and a carefully balanced relationship between precision and softness. Its monobloc handles give the pieces a seamless and substantial appearance, while the polished surface allows light to emphasise the controlled contours. Rather than relying on ornament, Tina finds its identity in structure, proportion and clarity of form.
What are the dimensions and material of the Tina 24-piece set?
Tina is made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and is dishwasher-safe. The dinner knife measures 22 cm, the dinner fork 21 cm, the dinner spoon 21 cm and the teaspoon 14 cm. These balanced proportions contribute to the solid, composed feeling that characterises Tina in the hand.
