Amazon.com Review
Sleek and smooth, Iittala's Artik flatware has an inviting, contemporary style that complements many table decors. The design is inspired by the perfect oval, with long, narrow handles in smooth oval shapes complemented by a bright mirror polish. The spoons continue the theme with generous oval working ends, while the knife and fork add a counterpoint of straight lines with diagonal prongs and an angled blade. Crafted of high-quality 18/10 stainless steel, this flatware is sturdy, corrosion-resistant, and enduringly lovely. The collection's five-piece serving set includes a dessert fork, dinner fork, dinner knife, dinner spoon, and dessert spoon. Created by Finnish designers Laura Partanen and Arto Kankkunen in 1997, the service for one is dishwasher-safe and made in Finland. --Kara Karll

Customer Reviews

Looks good and feels great
I fell for it's contemporary look and risked buying a 20-piece set witout seeing it outside. I was skeptical about my purchase until I received. I took this risk with the confidence that iittala makes very high quality products.

My trust on iittala brand turned out true. These are great piece of flatware which can't be matched by anything we see in most local department stores. We immediately returned the Villeroy and Boch New Wave Flatware set we got from Bloomingdales as it pales (in a very big way) in comparison to this. Frankly, these two shouldn't even be compared. That's how good the build quality is of this set. The stainless steel has some special kind of shine that makes it look very attractive and at the same time very unique. These pieces are very heavy and feel very good in hand.

We liked them so much that we are now looking into adding more of iittala brand items to our kitchen and home decor.

Classic yet original
We checked out this pattern in a bricks-and-mortar store, and loved the look (classic yet with some original touches like the different length tines on the forks) and feel (beautiful balance, though on the heavy side). The only downside to the product is that it's difficult to get serving pieces in the US. I must, however, protest Amazon's way of shipping. Each place setting, which occupied a box about 2"X2"X10", was put in a second box that was about 7"X10"X12"; that box was then put into yet another box that was about 10"X12"X18", and all 8 place settings were sent separately. What a waste of packing materials!!!!
