Swedish Spork Stainless Wins Prestigious True Scandinavia Award – Celebrated as Icon of Applied Art
Light My Fire proudly announces that our Swedish Spork Stainless has won the True Scandinavia Award at the Scandinavian Outdoor Award. This recognition celebrates Scandinavian products that excel in design, sustainability, innovation, and function.
The jury states:
“When Light My Fire over 20 years ago invented the Swedish Spork – a clever combination of spoon and fork – it became an iconic favorite for both hikers and picnickers. The new stainless version, made in Sweden, might be the final one: durable, timeless, and perfectly aligned with the BORROW concept to eliminate single-use items at outdoor events.”
A Unique Design Recognized as Applied Art
The Swedish Spork is more than practical – it's a design icon. It was officially appointed as Applied Art by Svensk Form’s Opinionsnämnd, an independent expert panel under the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design.
Since 1920, this designation has been reserved for works that combine function with artistic quality. Out of the thousands of products developed over the years, only around 150 have received this honor – including Bruno Mathsson’s Pernilla armchair, the Carl Malmsten Lilla Åland chair, and the classic Kockums enamelware.
With this recognition, the Swedish Spork joins a proud tradition of Swedish design that blends beauty, sustainability, and everyday utility.
Made in Sweden, for the World
Our Swedish Spork Stainless is produced locally and built to last a lifetime. It represents our mission to create sustainable solutions for everyday adventures – helping people enjoy nature without leaving a trace.
