Cover image missing

wa/ter was founded in response to the excessive waste in interior design, where projects are rapidly planned, demolished over time, and never passed down. This led to the fundamental question: “Have we, as designers, failed to create designs with lasting value?” Through design, wa/ter uncovers new meaning and circulation in materials once shaped by human hands but left without purpose.

wa/ter presents a collection of products that embodies its design philosophy—breathing new life into resources that have lost their original purpose. The collection highlights the inherent beauty of materials with minimal intervention, allowing their natural characteristics to take centre stage. It features furniture, objects, and products crafted from recycled glass sourced from CRT television screens and fluorescent lamps, and Tatsuyama stone from Hyogo Prefecture, a material quarried in Japan for 1.500 years. The collection also includes terrazzo, created by blending recycled glass with natural elements like marble, minerals, and soil.

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…
