Fiskars Group

Celebrating 375 years of high quality, creativity and craftsmanship 🎉 On 31 October 1649, with the privilege granted by Queen Christina of Sweden, Peter Thorwöste set up a blast furnace and bar hammer, laying the foundation for what would become Fiskars. While much has changed since then, two things remain constant: our presence in our birthplace in Fiskars Village and our unwavering commitment to quality and pioneering design. 🔔 We started the official birthday today with a bell-ringing ceremony at Nasdaq Helsinki headquarters. We are one of Finland’s oldest stock listed companies, next year celebrating our 110th anniversary of being listed on the Stock Exchange. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our story. Here’s to the next 375 years of success together! 🥂 #fiskars375 #fiskars #FiskarsGroup

Welcome to the team, Paula! 👏 We're pleased to announce the appointment of Paula Gerbase as our brand Georg Jensen's new creative director. With 15 years of experience at global luxury brands, Gerbase brings a keen eye for design and a deep respect for craftsmanship. She will embark on a thorough exploration of the House’s 120-year-old archives, which hold the legacy of some of the most influential design movements of the past century. “We have an unparalleled wealth of history,” says Gerbase. “Alongside silver, we hold works in glass, earthenware, sculpture, lithography, and textiles, to name a few. It’s an extraordinary trove of materials, mastery of technique and daring design that has remained hidden for far too long.” #GeorgJensen #FiskarsGroup

Wedgwood’s nutcracker ✨   The beloved Christmas story of The Nutcracker has been given a radical creative reimagining with the launch of our brand Wedgwood’s new Nutcracker and Festive Collection. The collection features original illustrations by Wedgwood Designer Jamie Sutherland, with each hand-drawn character adding a playful element to the fine bone china pieces.   “The new expression for 2024 is a really exciting project because it allowed us to reimagine what festive traditions could look like for many different people today. The Nutcracker characters were individually hand drawn, inspired by ETA Hoffmann’s story, which is nostalgic for many people,” Jamie explained.   “We hope the pieces will become the centrepiece of many people’s celebrations for years to come.”   ➡️ Discover more at WEDGWOOD.com   #Wedgwood #TheNutcracker #Christmas #FiskarsGroup
