The Golden Age was Victorian times in England. However, there once was a time when spoons were more remarkable, when specialized baby spoons had a place in this world, and when many spoons didn’t look much like spoons at all.
Today, everyone knows the average spoon – they all look relatively similar, save a few decorations and/or embellishments. Whereas forks are somewhat of a newer piece of flatware, dating back just a few centuries, cultures all around the world have been using spoons, made out of everything from bone to wood, since Neolithic times. Really, it goes without saying – we would have a hard time living without the classic, essential spoon. But we also probably couldn’t imagine life without them.

I first met Elettra at her popup restaurant, GOODNESS, at NY Fashion Week several years ago and was inspired by both her approach to food and sustainability, and the culinary minds she brought together for the cause, including Mario Batali and Allain Allegratti to name a few. The classical cutlery meets all the wishes with the extent of his additional partsand is only deliverable in sets.From recipes to Imagined Dinner Parties, Elettra Wiedemann's Impatient Foodie is a site dedicated to the marriage of "Slow Food ideals with the realities of fast paced, urban life."

The high-quality hollow handle knives are always composed from two parts, with this cutlery from the blade and the handle from sterling silver. Knives with a hollow handle have a blade of special steel which is clearly sharper than a blade from an simple chrome steel. The quality is guaranteed by the assaying and from Georg Jensen. On base of massive silver ornaments and decors can be worked out precisely. Since pure silver is a quite soft material, Acorn includes 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper.

Its perfection complements luxurious Lady Hamilton glasses from Bohemia for unforgettable arrangements. Over 80 different, in some cases extremely special parts, knives with different proportions of finely graded sizes meet the most unusual requirements. Neo-classical lines, flanked by elaborate ornaments, dissolve into organically structured forms. Konge (king) or Acorn, named after the acorn at the end of the classicist cutlery, developed into a symbol of Danish classicism, extravagance of Scandinavian origin, and soon eclipsed his sister model Acanthus / Dronning. Johan Rohde designed the silver cutlery in 1915, which significantly influenced the profile of the Danish luxury house.
