I have a great set of Dansk cutlery, Parallel Diamond to be exact, but it doesn't stop me from jonesing for other tabletop loveliness. Take the Scandi firm Gense as a case in point, who've been creating flatware and other essentials for the past 150 years. Their Focus de Luxe line of cutlery first hit the table in 1955, when it was launched at the H55 exhibition in Sweden (and where it was snapped up by the likes of Grace Kelly). Don't you think it would make slapping together a PBJ sandwich a fancy affair? The latest from Gense is the re-introduction of their Shakers, designed by Pierre Forssell and first debuted back in '55 too. Seriously. I doubt you'll find a chic-er way to chuck some s and p over french fries or tip sugar into your coffee.
