Berndorf was founded in Austria in 1843. The company began mass-manufacturing metal objects including cutlery. After a set of tableware was used by the Hapsburg monarchy in 1897, Berndorf became famous. The Berndorf logo comes from the Hapsburg bear and to this day all Berndorf products feature an engraved bear as a guarantee of quality. Berndorf highly values innovative design. Time and again, internationally renowned designers follow the invitation to work together with the company.
