02 THE DETAILS
The Details
A fuller handle gives Tuva its presence. The detail lies in the simplicity, the weight and the clear silhouette.
A note from Per Finne
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.”

Questions about Tuva Complete Collection
What is included in the Hardanger Bestikk Tuva Complete Collection?
The Tuva Complete Collection brings together the essential place setting with additional pieces for serving, dessert, cake and other moments around the table. Across the wider collection, the same generous proportions, polished surfaces and confident design language create a coherent family of objects, allowing Tuva to continue naturally from the individual place setting into shared serving and more specialised pieces.
What is the design story behind Hardanger Bestikk Tuva?
Designed by Norwegian designer Per Finne in 2009, Tuva combines simplicity with a distinctly confident presence. The collection is clean and restrained in expression, yet its substantial handles, rounded contours and carefully considered proportions give it a strong identity. The result is cutlery that feels assured and contemporary while remaining calm enough to become a natural part of the table.
What makes the Tuva design distinctive?
Tuva is characterised by well-proportioned forms, rounded edges and substantial handles designed with particular attention to grip and balance. The pieces feel solid without becoming visually heavy, creating a close relationship between the way the cutlery looks and the way it feels in the hand. This balance between comfort, proportion and visual clarity is central to Tuva's identity.
Why choose the Tuva Complete Collection?
The Complete Collection allows Tuva's distinctive design language to extend beyond the four essential pieces of a place setting. Serving, dessert, cake and other specialised pieces share the same proportions, polished finish and tactile character, creating continuity as the table moves through different courses and shared servings. It allows Tuva to be experienced as a complete design family rather than simply as dinner cutlery.
Who designed Hardanger Bestikk Tuva, and has the collection received design recognition?
