Who is Signe?
A butter knife rest is an item with ancient origins that has traditionally been used to put butter knives or jam spoons on to prevent smudging tablecloths or plates. In Sweden they are called ”smörtax”, which means ”butter dachshund”. The name comes from the fact that a butter knife rest was usually given the shape of a small, sculpted
dachshund.
Our Signe is a modern version of the traditional butter knife rest. The product is inspired by the miniature dachshund dogs in its purpose of course. However, this modern design extends its utility to both the table setting as well as a place to set serving utensils on, as it is slightly larger than the traditional version.
Signe is made of brass and is also available with a nickel-plated surface. They are sold in pairs and are stackable.
