Craftsmanship in the kitchen
- • Berthold’s cast iron pans weigh around 8kg
- • His fondue set was recognised in the German Design Awards 2016
- • A new pan design prototype may take 50 hours to make
The longstanding tradition of goldsmithing and silversmithing in the city of Nuremberg and the excellent training at the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg had a deep impact on Berthold Hoffmann. His teachers opened his eyes to the profession’s creative potential and the year before he graduated in 1986 he decided to open his own workshop. Today, Berthold is renowned for designing and making award-winning cast iron cooking pots and pans, fondue sets and tabletop grills. He has exhibited in Europe and the US and has won all the important design prices in Germany – the latest was the German Design Awards 2016, where his fondue set Konus won the category recognising excellence in product design for the kitchen.
