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
Tina was designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne as a modern interpretation of Scandinavian cutlery. The collection is rooted in modernist principles, where function, proportion and clarity define the form. Its almost geometric silhouettes feel precise and architectural, yet subtle curves introduce a softness that keeps the design composed and inviting around the table.
Tina is characterised by clean lines, solid proportions and almost geometric forms. Rather than relying on ornament, the collection finds its identity in structure and balance. The controlled contours give Tina a precise, modern character, while the softness running through the lines prevents the design from feeling severe.
The monobloc handle contributes to Tina's seamless and substantial appearance. By creating a more continuous relationship between handle and form, the construction reinforces the collection's modernist clarity and gives the pieces a solid, unified character in the hand. Combined with the polished finish, it allows light to emphasise the clean geometry of the design.
Tina extends beyond the principal dinner setting into specialised pieces for appetizers, dessert, cake and shared serving. This broader family allows the same precise proportions and polished modernist expression to continue through different courses and functions around the table.
Tina was designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne for Hardanger Bestikk. Finne's approach places particular emphasis on function, grip, proportion and balance. In Tina, these principles are expressed through polished stainless steel, almost geometric forms and a controlled softness that gives the collection its distinctive contemporary Scandinavian identity.
