Founded in 2009 by Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll, Anderssen & Voll is a Norwegian design studio based in Oslo. The duo, who were previously partners in the Norway Says group, work in a variety of design fields but concentrate on domestic objects. They have been named Norwegian and Scandinavian Designer of the Year and have received international awards for their work with furniture, lighting and home accessories. In their view, a good product builds on and extends tradition while simultaneously breaking with the rules of that tradition. Their iconic creations include the Outline seating series, the Oslo lounge chair, the Elephant table and the unique Ildhane candlestick. Their many collaborations with famous publishers such as Lapalma, Muuto, Hay and AndTraditon have contributed to their reputation.

NEW WORKS
New Works was founded by Nikolaj Meier and Knut Bendik Humlevik with the desire to create a design house where design comes to life with care and intention, and where there is space for creative experimentation—a place for new works. With a small, dedicated team, they set out to curate a collection of elevated yet accessible living objects. Through this lens, they shape the ever-evolving story of New Works. New Works offers a collection positioned at the intersection of old and new. Light and dark. Design and art. The brand’s work pays homage to Scandinavia's strong history of craftsmanship and materiality while challenging today’s contemporary forms.
