An ancient tradition of craftsmanship →
Gense, Gustaf Eriksson NySilverfabrik i Eskilstuna, was established in 1856. Gense’s founder, Gustaf Eriksson, had from the beginning manufacturing of doors for tiled ovens as a speciality. It was not until his son Axel Eriksson took over the business in 1885 that Gense took the crucial step and extended its range to include cutlery and silver-plated tableware.
Since the early decades of the twentieth century, Gense has collaborated with designers who have worked with burning enthusiasm alongside the craftsmen. This is one of the distinctive features of the famous Swedish industrial art, where artistry, craftsmanship and technical discoveries go hand in hand.
Since Gense was established over 160 years ago, a great deal of cutlery has found its way around the world and become treasured heirlooms, handed down through generations.
