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 Dessert Set extends the collection into the final course of the table with dedicated dessert pieces designed to preserve the same precise and modernist expression as the principal place setting. The dessert spoons measure 17 cm, giving them proportions specifically suited to dessert while maintaining Tina's clean lines and composed character.
The Tina dessert spoons translate the collection's almost geometric design into a smaller and more delicate scale. Their clean contours and balanced proportions retain the architectural clarity of the wider Tina collection, while subtle curves soften the form and make the pieces comfortable to use.
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 where function, proportion and restraint become the defining elements rather than ornament.
Tina is made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and is dishwasher-safe. The polished surface allows light to emphasise the clean geometry and controlled contours of the design, while the durable stainless steel makes the pieces suitable for regular use around the table.
Tina was designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne for Hardanger Bestikk and introduced in 2010. Finne's approach places particular emphasis on function, balance and clarity of form. In the Dessert Set, this modernist design language continues into the quieter final moments around the table, preserving the same relationship between precision and subtle softness.
