Calling all lovers of Danish Modern design!

Making utensils, hair combs, jewelry and other items out of horn is a painstaking process that includes multiple rounds of sawing, sanding, shaping and polishing. Hornvarefabrikken, which is Danish for “The Hornware Factory,” has introduced some machinery to its process, which nevertheless remains largely unchanged in its 200+ year history.

These serving spoons were designed by Peder Husted, the son of Hornvarefabrikken’s founder, in the 1930s. At the time, he was thinking of using them to serve potatoes but their versatility will have you pairing them with salads of all sorts, among a great many more side dishes. Nearly 100 years later, the design still looks fresh.

Details:

  • A serving set that will become your steady dining companion
  • Material: sustainably-sourced natural horn. Color and pattern will vary from what you see here.
  • 9” long
  • Care: rinse under lukewarm water, using mild soap if necessary. Dry thoroughly.
  • The material here is 100% natural: no chemicals or coating has been added, so keep these servers away from prolonged exposure to water or other liquids, along with direct sunlight.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The sanding on these is so smooth there's not a single rough edge, and they feel surprisingly light in the hand for horn. I've been using them for salads all week and they don't scratch my wooden bowl at all.

Steven ★★★★★

The sanding on these is so smooth there's not a single rough edge, which I wasn't expecting from horn. They look great on the table with my Danish modern dishes.

Charlotte Y. ★★★★★

I was worried these would feel heavy or cold, but the sanding leaves them smooth and warm in the hand. The shape makes tossing a big salad way easier than my old wooden set, and the grain on each piece is different enough that they look handmade.
