Some Creative Ladies From Norway

Norway has always had a strong tradition of crafts and workmanship but has been overshadowed in design by its Scandinavian neighbors. In a bid to save these old-time skills, the country has spawned a new generation of artisans who are producing some exquisite products in small batches. Here are a few of our favorite ladies.

Glassware is an old Norwegian industry that has faded away, but with these hypnotically beautiful pieces from Anne Haavind taking inspiration from the Norwegian landscape, we think the industry may be on the rebound

Kjersti Johannessen has a similar glacial touch to her striking glass pieces.

Ceramics is also coming on strong with blazing white porcelain absolute minimal products from Sara Skotte.


And quaint traditional Elfin designs from Wik & Walsoe.

Combining traditional wooden veneer production with skilled local craftsmen and delightful designs are Cathrine Kullberg’s lighting lampshades. From small tablelamps to Grand Hall installations Cathrine’s work has found its way into becoming a statement of new-traditional Norwegian design.


We look forward to bringing more wonderful Norwegian designers onto the blog and the shop in the future.
