THE SPIRA CUTLERY
Buy nowEver since Arje Griegst made his first sketch of a fruit-saving set in 1948, the creation of a cutlery had been on his mind. In the early 1970s, he started yet again to contemplate and experiment with a cutlery, and in 1980 he completed a prototype. The cutlery’s name was Spira (Sprout), a symbol for growth and creation of life. However, it took another 22 years before the cutlery was finally put into production by Georg Jensen but only for a very short time, from 2002-2003.
