THEBE
Thebe has a classic and timeless shape that makes the cutlery as beautiful and contemporary today as when it was created in 1944. Thebe was Gense's first modern stainless steel cutlery series and is inspired by the opulent Egyptian style with clean and stylish lines.

FOCUS DE LUXE
Folke Arström designed Focus de Luxe for Gense back in 1955. Today, Focus de Luxe is a stylish retro classic with a timeless and functional design. The interesting thing about this cutlery is the short blade of the knife and the fact that the fork, knife and spoon have the same length. Likewise, the handle is the same length on all three pieces. Focus de Luxe has been a collector's item for many years. It has been recognised by the New York Times as one of the ‘100 best designed products of modern times’.

ATTACHÉ
