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 Serving Set brings together dedicated serving pieces designed for the shared table. Each piece continues Tina's precise lines, polished surfaces and almost geometric proportions, allowing the collection's modernist design language to extend naturally from the individual place setting into the way food is presented and shared.
The serving pieces translate Tina's clean, architectural character into larger utensils intended for shared serving. Their controlled contours and solid proportions give them a composed presence, while subtle curves soften the geometry and make the pieces feel balanced in use. The result is serving cutlery that feels like an integral part of the Tina collection rather than a separate accessory.
Designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne in 2010, Tina is rooted in modernist principles and Scandinavian design. Its expression is precise and functional, yet the almost geometric forms are softened by carefully controlled curves. In the serving pieces, this balance between structure and softness becomes particularly visible as the design moves into larger proportions.
Tina is made from 18/10 stainless steel with a polished finish and is dishwasher-safe. The polished surface emphasises the clarity of the forms and allows light to move across the controlled contours, 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 Serving Set, that modernist design language extends beyond the individual place setting and into the shared act of presenting, passing and serving food around the table.
