FABLER 3-piece flatware set, stainless steel

Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing items – without losing its valuable properties.

For slightly older children, cutlery is made of metal. Now it's time to cut and divide food - and a serrated blade makes this easier. All the metal edges on the cutlery are gently rounded to prevent children from hurting themselves.

"Rabbits, mice, cats and frogs - they all talk, didn't you know that? When I gather inspiration to new drawings for the FABLER collection I try to see the world from a child's perspective. Together with my children, I let my imagination run free. What mischief is the crocodile going to get into next? How will the mouse make friends with the cat? For hundreds of years, fables have helped children to talk about emotions and relationships. I hope the FABLER collection will inspire many families to continue with this tradition."
