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.

Orla Culligan creates unique slip cast ceramics for the home in Clonakilty, Cork. She strives to provide high–quality products that bring joy to the owner’s home while keeping her business sustainable by minimising waste and maintaining a low environmental impact. The original inspiration for her work comes from discovering 'rubbish' washed up on the beaches where she grew up in East Cork. As she walks along the beach, flotsam and jetsam become tangled among the seaweed, their bright synthetic man–made colours standing out. Upon closer scrutiny, these objects reveal a gorgeous range of textures where the sea has intervened; seams and edges have softened, yet evidence of the making process and the machine still remains.
