Hit the angles. Dorotea was designed by Monica Förster (b. 1966), one of Sweden’s most internationally acclaimed and award-winning designers. Her upbringing in the small village of Dorotea in northern Sweden was marked by a strong interest in food and the set table, as her father was one of Sweden’s leading chefs. Monica Förster’s design is characterized by a considered simplicity that is free of unnecessary details, and she is driven by a great curiosity about new materials and manufacturing methods. With Dorotea cutlery, Monica Förster has created a modern classic in matte finish stainless steel, distinguished by a dramatic shape that's distinctive yet soft.  Dishwasher safe.
