Elegant Service by Norm

The two architects at Norm, Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen & Kasper Ronn, are deeply rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition - which they honor and refine. According to Jonas & Kasper, good design should meet real needs and satisfy all senses. This philosophy comes to life in their design: a classic, recognizable shape gets a new, original twist that calls for attention. A surprising, little detail or a new material entices you to touch and smell the product, and makes you enjoy the sound it makes when you put it on the table.

Norm brings function and beauty together in the Menu Carving Set, always adding that little extra in pursuit of timelessness and soul.











A hole at the center of the bamboo board allows meats juices to drip down into the tray to avoid stains on the tablecloth. Bamboo has natural anti-bacterial properties and can be grown without the use of pesticides.








With the Menu Serving Set, the white porcelain dish fits perfectly into the tray. There is space between the dish and tray for the accompanying cooling pad if the food has to be kept cold. Without the cooling pad the set is a great serving plate for hot dishes - or the tray and dish can be used separately.

Norm's bowls, dishes and trays are designed to meet actual needs. From the start the designers sought to create functional products that were timeless and original in their design and combination of materials. The Menu Bowl comes in both black and white.
