Pierre Forssell (1925-2004) was a Swedish metalsmith who worked primarily in brass and gold plate. His output was very modern and masculine; pieces include candle-holders, wall & ceiling lamps, vases, cigarette lighters and an exquisite decanter and cup set (shown above).
From the 1950s to the 1970s, he designed many pieces for Skultuna (where he was Creative Director), some of which are still in production to this day.
Pierre Forssell also worked for Gense where he was designing cutlery including the relaunched Retro Collection (shown in the montage image above). First designed in the 1950s, the range includes salt & pepper shakers, cocktail forks (similar to the ‘spork‘) and salad servers. They are available on Amazon.
Vintage examples of his designs come up for sale on 1stDibs, eBay, Etsy, Pamona, Vinterior and on Scandinavian auction sites such as Bukowskis.
