Desire Vintage: a site devoted to beautiful and archetypal objects of our culture

The Finns have a better way with beautiful design. Olof Backstrom was a woodcarver first before designing wooden domestic ware. He gave these ubiquitous scissors a brilliant orange, egonomic handle that conforms perfectly to the shape of the hand. The name fiskars is derived from the corporation that holds the brand.
