What’s new: Fiskars’ Classic 375 scissors

In 2024, Fiskars is celebrating an impressive 375-year journey. Throughout the centuries, the Finnish company has produced countless classic products, but one item holds a special place. Check out Finnish Design Shop’s newest addition: Fiskars' familiar orange-handled scissors, commemorating the milestone in a sharp and elegant manner.

FISKARS WILL be celebrating its 375th anniversary in 2024. Founded in 1649, this Finnish company has a long history full of adventures, but after decades, cooking, gardening and making things by hand are still at the heart of everything Fiskars does and designs.

The Classic general-purpose scissors are not quite as old as Fiskars, but they are at least as well-known! First produced in 1967, the orange-handled scissors have earned their place among the world's design classics – and they happen to be part of the permanent collection at MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, too.

To celebrate its long history, Fiskars has now released a special anniversary version of the beloved scissors.

Since there is no point in reinventing what's already quite perfect, the design of the scissors has not been changed. Instead, the orange-handled ones are celebrating in their style in an understated but aesthetic way. To mark the anniversary, the stainless steel blades have been elegantly decorated with a special engraving, respecting the long history of Finland's oldest company.

The 375 scissors are not the first special edition of the loved orange-handled scissors. In 2023, Fiskars x Arabia scissors were launched in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the iconic Finnish brand Arabia. The scissors were decorated with a beloved Esteri pattern, which was originally designed by Esteri Tomula.

The scissors have also been produced in collaboration with another old and legendary Finnish design company. The Fiskars x Iittala scissors have been dressed in a Taika pattern designed by Klaus Haapaniemi, featuring an owl wandering in a mystical forest. The Taika scissors are available in both blue and red.
