For 85 years, LK Hjelle has been crafting long–lasting furniture with a commitment to Norwegian craftsmanship. Unlike mass–produced alternatives, its designs are not found in every home, store, or office. As one of the few remaining Norwegian furniture manufacturers that still designs and produces its pieces in–house, the company has upheld this tradition since the 1940s and continues to do so in Sykkylven, Norway’s furniture capital. While trends come and go, LK Hjelle remains dedicated to creating furniture designed to last a lifetime. Built for longevity, each piece is crafted to ensure that no one should ever need or want to discard an LK Hjelle product.

LK Hjelle is part of the Inside Norway exhibition, curated by the Norwegian Design Industry together with other 11 leading Norwegian brands, including Fjordfiesta, Gudbrandsdalens Uldvarefabrik, Eikund, Northern, Ekornes, Lundhs Real Stone, Formfin, Hadeland Glassverk, Varier and Jensen Beds.
