As the festive season approaches, the focus shifts to the beautifully set table—a stage adorned with elegant glassware, gleaming candlesticks, fine china, and, of course, exceptional cutlery.
Throughout the years, many designers have tackled the challenge of creating cutlery that is as functional as it is beautiful. Some efforts lean more toward art than utility, like Folke Arström’s striking Focus Deluxe with its short prongs and scalpel-like knives—a bold statement piece, even if it sacrifices some practicality. After all, as the saying goes, beauty is pain, even at the dining table.
Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm presents a rich selection of modern cutlery masterpieces, featuring classics from celebrated designers like Tapio Wirkkala, Sigurd Persson, Nanny Still, Bertel Gardberg, and Sigvard Bernadotte.
Find your favorite—whether you prioritize form or function, it all comes down to taste in the end.
Bon Appétit!
