Elevate your entertaining! Make sure all the little details are perfect and serve your snacks in this beautiful set of three stainless steel bowls presented on a custom-made smoked oak tray. Just the right size to hold candies, nuts or berries, the bowls feature the distinctive Art Deco-inspired grooves that appear in many of legendary designer Sigvard Bernadotte’s iconic pieces. The versatile nature of the set means that both tray and bowls can also be used individually.
Sigvard Bernadotte was the son of the Swedish king but carved out a notable career as one of Georg Jensen’s earliest designers. Greatly influenced by the functionalist movement prevalent at the time, his work is characterised by sophistication and elegance but never at the expense of practicality.
The three bowls are crafted from mirror-polished stainless steel. The smoked oak tray has a lacquered finish to reduce staining and abrasion.
Prince Sigvard Bernadotte (1907-2002) was trained at the Kungliga Konstakademien in Stockholm in 1929. The following year he saw the Stockholm exhibition of Gunnar Asplund, which marked the breakthrough of functionalism. This influenced Bernadotte’s own style and he incorporated the ideals of functional elegance into his design thenceforth. Shortly afterwards, Prince Sigvard Bernadotte and Georg Jensen began a long and fruitful cooperation, in which the new functionalism was at the centre of a more modern interpretation of the work of silver.
The prince’s long affiliation with Georg Jensen represents another chapter in the rich history of Scandinavian design. His Bernadotte collection has been and continues to be a favourite for generations
