Stocky and mod - always a winner. Nobel was created by Gunnar Cyrén (1931-2013), one of Sweden’s most masterful designers working in metal and glass. As a glass artist, silversmith and industrial designer, he was hugely important in Danish and Swedish glass art and silver work from the 1960s to the 1990s. His work is represented in museums around the world and has received multiple awards, and he was also awarded the title of professor by the Swedish government. Nobel was created by Cyrén to mark the 90th anniversary of the Nobel Prize and has already become a classic. The cutlery is inspired by the beginning of the nineteenth century and the silver belonging to the King of Sweden, Karl XIV Johan. A design that is unmistakably Swedish, but with new details that surprise. Nobel adds that little something extra, whether you choose to set your table traditionally or be more loosey-goosey with it. Nobel is crafted from stainless steel with a lightly brushed handle and mirror-finish bowl, blade or tines, and it is still used at the annual Nobel Prize award ceremonies and banquet in Stockholm. Dishwasher safe.
