The Norden Outdoor Collection by Fiskars not only appeals to enthusiastic hobby chefs and ambitious barbecue fans; it is also a wonderful example of how the Fiskars designers remain true to a deeply rooted brand design philosophy. Precise, distinct lines are just as important here as perfect workmanship and meticulously chosen materials. This multifunctional set is made of cast iron, stainless steel and wood. The cookware fits seamlessly together and is complemented by various kitchen tools. “The Norden Outdoor Collection is a fantastic product that is nestable for compact storage, as well as being multifunctional. It will obviously be a pleasure to use, both for cooking and grilling,” commented the jury. In terms of functionality, the cookware does indeed have a lot to offer. The cast iron products not only have a two-layer enamel coating and a Thermium mineral treatment that makes the inner surface easy to clean and take care of; they are also optimised for various cooking methods. For example, the large grill pot can be combined with the stainless-steel basket for use as cooking pot or steamer. This collection delivers the flexibility that today’s consumers demand – both on the hob and on the grill. Reflecting the Fiskars product development philosophy, the Norden Outdoor Collection was designed with sustainability in mind. Minimising waste and emissions during production and thoughtful material sourcing are just as much a part of the company’s quality credo as highly functional and durable design. This year’s jury recognised these qualities in the Norden Outdoor Collection: “The attention to detail is fantastic. For example, the proportions and weight are well balanced, and the surfaces of the cooking tools are very well executed. Owners of this robust set will be perfectly equipped for many years to come.”
