From Sketch to Table
Tina begins with structure. Near-geometric forms give the series a clear, modernist rhythm on the table.

The lines are direct and balanced. Each piece carries a graphic clarity shaped by Scandinavian design principles.
Per Finne is a Norwegian industrial designer whose work is defined by a close attention to proportion, function and the way an object feels in the hand.
“From a design perspective, cutlery has a very intriguing relation between form and function. To me it’s important that it’s balanced equally.”
Per Finne
The Tina 40-piece set creates an extended table setting for six people. It includes six dinner knives, six dinner forks, six dinner spoons, six teaspoons, six dessert spoons and six cake forks, together with two serving spoons, one serving fork and one sauce ladle. The collection allows Tina's precise modernist design language to continue naturally from the main place setting through dessert, cake and shared serving.
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.
Tina is characterised by clean lines, almost geometric forms and a carefully considered balance between precision and softness. Its monobloc handles give the pieces a seamless and substantial appearance, while the polished surface allows light to emphasise their controlled contours. Rather than relying on ornament, Tina finds its identity in structure, proportion and the clarity of the form itself.
Tina is made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and is dishwasher-safe. The dinner knife measures 22 cm, dinner fork 21 cm, dinner spoon 21 cm, teaspoon 14 cm, dessert spoon 17 cm and cake fork 19 cm. The two serving spoons and serving fork measure 24 cm, while the sauce ladle measures 19 cm.
Tina was designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 2010. Finne approached the collection through modernist principles, with particular attention to function, balance and the relationship between form and the hand. Tina's almost geometric silhouettes and subtle softness give the collection a distinctive contemporary Scandinavian identity around the table.
