Process
Slow work, at one bench.
Nothing here is cast or machined. Each piece passes through the same six steps by hand.
- 01
Sourcing
Flea markets, estate sales and donated family cutlery across the Nordics.
- 02
Assessing
Metal, thickness and pattern are checked. Hollow handles and thin plate are set aside.
- 03
Cutting
The handle or bowl is separated with a jeweller's saw, following the pattern rather than cutting through it.
- 04
Annealing
Heated until the silver softens, so it can bend without cracking a century-old surface.
- 05
Forming
Shaped on a mandrel with a rawhide mallet, a little at a time, checked against the body.
- 06
Finishing
Edges filed round, surfaces sanded through grits and polished; hallmarks left legible.
