Appetize is a line of tapas-style serving pieces by Gense for Myco Gourmet. The
inspiration of the cutlery’s form is borrowed from the oval and clear shape of the

Appetize meets these requirements, and the name lends itself to hors d’oeuvres and
starters. In 2006, Gense received Swedish award “FORMEX Formidable Grand Prix
06,” for having the best Scandinavian design and quality products.
