Margrethe
The Margrethe pattern of 1966 is a collaboration between Danish architects/designers Rigmor Andersen and Annelise Bjorner. Queen Margrethe of Denmark has a service in this pattern. The knives in this pattern were made in two versions, a classical knife design and a “pistol” version, where the handle is turned 90 degrees.
Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, is an artistic design period that flourished between 1920 and 1939. The style was inspired by Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau and Futurism. Art Deco pieces are characterized by bold colors, geometric shapes, and decadent details. The style carries an emphasis on elegance and function, without using historical references.
