75 YEARS WITH GRAND PRIX
This year marks 75 years since Kay Bojesen’s cutlery design was awarded with the first prize at the international Triennale of art and design in Milan in 1951. The award, called ‘Grand Prix’, came to give name to the cutlery series, which we continue to celebrate and love so many years later.
The history of Kay Bojesen
In 1938, Kay Bojesen created the ultimate cutlery series in silver, shaped by the perspective that cutlery is an important tool that should not draw away the attention from the food at the dining table.
All the Grand Prix cutlery pieces are adapted to the hand and mouth to achieve soft and harmonious shapes.
