It turned out that the year 2000 was the year when the well-known and classic Blue Fluted dinnerware was to be revolutionized, which was done by the artist Karen Kjældgaard-Larsen. She was carefully chosen because she emphasized classic design while also respecting the simplicity of the original Blue Fluted dinnerware. At the same time, she was innovative enough to be able to work out a new design that would differ significantly from the original, while at the same time having some clear and distinct similarities.
