Light My Fire
Swedish Spork stainless
True Scandinavian Award Spring/Summer 26
Jury statement: When Light my Fire over 20 years ago invented Spork, a piece of cutlery that has a spoon on one end and a fork on the other, they created an iconic product that worldwide became a favorite not only for hikers but also for people going out for picnics. The newest iteration made out Swedish stainless steel in Sweden could be the final version of the Spork since it will last almost forever. It also perfectly matches the company’s BORROW concept with long-lasting items that can be rented for outdoor events to eliminate single-use food containers and cutlery.

Fun facts or backstory:
Like all great innovations, the Swedish Spork was born as an antidote for a curious problem.
Together with industrial designer, Joachim Nordwall, Light My Fire took the spork, usually a spoon with fork teeth, and evolved it into a never-before-seen tool of our own. Placing the spoon at one end, and a serrated fork at the other, created a three-in-one combination utensil connected by a smooth and natural curve. The crowd went wild! The wave of enthusiasm sold 1 million pieces in the first year and 60 million to date.
But the saga continues. Its growing appreciation has brought the Swedish Spork into renowned publications such as The New York Times, The Guardian and even a full article about camping Nirvana in Penthouse, well known for its in-depth journalism. It has also found its way into the hands of numerous celebrities—including the Swedish royal family and many others. A star was well and truly born, and its recognition eventually reached the Svensk Form. An association promoting innovative Swedish design since 1845. Welcomed into the hallowed halls of Applied Arts, the Swedish Spork was officially awarded as an object of aesthetically pleasing functionality.
A Swedish Design Classic. A hardworking and adventurous utensil, bringing beautiful form to simple function. The Swedish Spork continues to evolve, serve, and tell its story through the millions of Sporkers out there in all adventures big and small.
