iittala Artik, designed by Laura Partanen and Arto Kankkunen, is Scandinavian cutlery design at its purest. The distinguishing feature of Artik is the oval, streamlined shape of the handles, which gives the utensils a substantial and pleasant weight.
First founded as a glassworks company in 1881, iittala is now a leading company in modern Finnish design producing a range of dinnerware, glassware and art pieces. You’d be hard-pressed to find a Finn or fan of Finnish design that doesn’t recognize the iittala logo, designed by Timo Sarpane... More iittala
These are beautifully made. Well balanced. Perfect size for the desserts you can enjoy. Love these. Love the design. Very comfortable feel when holding and using.

Unique style and good quality.

This is a beautiful and unique style. Well made and good weight. My only comment would be, like most flatware, it is easiest to make the decision when you can feel it.. This particular style has a fairly slender handle, which might not be comfortable for some people. It fits me fine. So happy with my purchase.
Pros
Design and quality
Cons
For some people the slender handle may not fit them.

Like this addition to my set.
January 13, 2018
At first I was wondering if this was necessary for my set, as I have lived without desert knives up till now. But as it was on sale I decided to try it. I found I like to use it as my morning knife for my toast and jam, thus leaving the regular knives ready for other meals. So yes, it works well for me. And I just love the pattern and quality of this flatware.

Beautiful Iittala Silverware
February 4, 2011
I bought a complete set of Iittala Artik silverware, including serving pieces, because I am redoing my dining area. I looked around carefully before deciding to stick with Iittala and Artik. It is handsome and useful and reminds me of being in Europe, and especially reminds me of Finland.
Pros
I like the weight of the silverware, and the nice shine of it. It is fun to have the various European sizes, including the small Finnish coffee spoons.
