A welcome return

It is the late 18th century in Ronneby, the Kockums family has just started construction of their new factory. The plan is to manufacture pots, buckets and hospital utensils. In the year of 1893 the company launches a whole new product line, a product that will completely change the future of their business: the enamelled cookware.

Kockums enamelled cookware is made in several different colours, but it is the soft yellow colour with the thin dark green edge at the top which the Swedish people falls in love with and it becomes a bestseller. The prime time for the Kockums products is in the 1930^th´s. They manufacture cookware as never before and the genuine design, durable material is visible in every Swedish home.

But, then the 60´s came. The Swedish household choose the plastic before anything else. The fine enamelled pots end up further back in the kitchen cupboards and stays unused… Kockums Jernverk meets the reduced demands with new colours and new designs with the help of successful designers, such as silversmith Sigurd Persson and designer Arne Erkers. Unfortunately, this was not enough. Eventually the production had to stop.

Until now, times are changing to our advantage. Today the plastic is phased out of the Swedish households and there is room for quality, design and shape in the kitchen. We have taken advantage of the best from the 30´s – like the durable material and innovating design – updated the colour palette and reintroduced Kockums Jernverk. With our new collection, we want to give you inspiration and pleasance in the kitchen and bring a feeling of cooking that you have not experienced before. In addition, it is important for us that our products are beautiful enough to be visible in your home, even between the meals.

All we had to do was to wait for the right time, and that time is now.
