MAZO

Mazo takes a thoughtful, hands–on approach to design, focusing on creativity, quality, and the small details that make a difference. They experiment with materials to refine their work, balancing beauty and function in a way that feels natural and deliberate. Rather than following trends, they prioritise durability and timeless appeal. Collaborating with architects and designers from the 1930s to today, they create pieces that meet contemporary needs while staying deeply rooted in history.

Mazo, DCW éditions, and MODELEC come together in a shared exhibition, ROOTED IN TIME, at Mazo’s showroom at Dronningegården. Distinct voices shaped by their own histories, yet grounded in a shared approach. Pieces from different decades occupy the same space—not to contrast, but to reveal continuity. There is no clear beginning or end, no fixed point in time. Only objects that have proven their place and new ones carrying the same intent forward. In a world defined by excess and constant replacement, this is another way: to add with intention, choose fewer, better objects—with depth and meaning. ROOTED IN TIME is not nostalgia. Every design moves between past and present, shaped with care and attention, ready to be lived with today.

Foyos is a modular work furniture system that bridges living and working spaces. Launched in March 2026, it is built on the conviction that function and aesthetics are not opposites. In collaboration with designer Mark Braun, the collection reinterprets classic workshop archetypes and translates them into a contemporary design language. Solid oak, precise wood joinery and durable materials form its structural foundation. Produced with trusted partners in Germany and across Europe. The system of worktables, wall and storage modules combines and adapts easily to different working styles and spaces. Intuitive and functional in use, restrained and clear in expression, open to individual configurations.

You’re not like everyone else. Neither are we. You won’t find us in every home, in every store, or in every office. We’re among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers who still design and craft our furniture at our own factory. We’ve been doing that since the 40s. And we’ll continue to do so, right here in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. We make products built to last. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. That’s our vision. And it ensures that we always double-check that the screws are tight, that we choose the best suppliers, and that we make it easy for our customers to have their furniture repaired, so they get renewed life and can bring joy to many, many, many…

Jan Kath Design has revolutionised the world of rugs. For nearly 30 years, the brand has been shaping the international design scene with its work. While the creative language spans a broad spectrum, production remains deliberately rooted in tradition. Each carpet is crafted using centuries–old hand–knotting techniques in selected workshops in Nepal and India, certified for sustainability by the Swiss label STEP. Knot by knot, skilled artisans translate the designs into textile art. Only premium natural materials are used, including hand–combed Tibetan highland wool, fine Chinese silk, and Nepalese nettle. This balanced material composition gives the rugs a distinctive tactile quality and a deep, layered presence beyond the surface.

Based in India, the studio is rooted in ancient wisdom, where sustainability and care are integral to everyday living. Working closely with local artisans and locally sourced wood, the furniture draws from South Asian traditions of sitting and spatial setting. Naturally seasoned, aged trees—crafted without nails or screws—form the core language of the work. A life–centred approach ensures no harmful disruptors enter the environment, protecting everyone from maker to end user. Continually pushing the boundaries of furniture typology, the studio explores Indian minimalism while revisiting traditional skills through a contemporary lens, creating pieces that hold space and life in equal measure.
