spinnerskivan

Spinnerskivan is a Swedish term that generally refers to a type of circular, often rotating, object used for various purposes. The most common interpretation relates to a decorative or functional element found in older Swedish homes, particularly in kitchens. This could be a spinning shelf or tray, sometimes referred to as a lazy Susan, used to store or display items. These spinnerskivan would typically be mounted on a central spindle and could be turned to access different contents, making it easier to reach items stored at the back of cupboards or on shelves.

In some contexts, spinnerskivan might also refer to a component of traditional Swedish children's toys, such as a spinning top. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any disc-like object that spins. The exact meaning can depend heavily on the specific context in which it is used, but the underlying concept remains that of a circular, rotating element. Historically, the materials used for spinnerskivan would have varied, often including wood.
