Description: I have had this set forever. It's time to let it go. Never used. A minimalist classic, this flatware was designed by Arne Jacobsen and represents the essence of the Danish modern style. It has been in continuous production since it was introduced in 1957. Used as the flatware for the crew in Stanley Kubrick's film,2001: A Space Odyssey, this flatware is sleek with the subtlest of details. The six-piece place setting includes a dinner fork, salad fork, knife, butter knife, soup spoon, and teaspoon. Made of matte-finish 18/8 stainless steel. Manufactured by Georg Jensen. "Similar to his aspirations for the famous lounge chairs from 1958, the Swan and the Egg, Arne Jacobsen aimed to eliminate the transitions between the elements of the steel cutlery. Its organic lines reflect Arne Jacobsens artistic approach to design, and as he did with the lounge chairs, he took an experimental approach, sculpting physical models until he had achieved the right form. In 1958, Arne Jacobsen said to the Danish newspaper Berlingske Aftenavis, I have had the idea for this cutlery for the past 20 years, so I did not need to begin at the drawing table when A. Michelsen gave me this assignment. I was involved in shaping it in the workshop, snipping and cutting until the cutlery met the aesthetic and functional requirements. In particular, the design of the knife, where the transition from handle to blade is only indicated in the contour, and the short tines of the fork make the AJ Cutlery stand out."
