Tveit + Tornoe

Tveit + Tornoe is located in Bergen, Norway, where our design studio was established in 2006.  The main focus being on furniture design and product design, Tveit + Tornoe also develop design concepts for interiors, exhibitions and other spatial projects.

Today the Tveit +Tornoe collaboration consists of Alte Tveit and Lars Tornoe, both with Master Degrees in Furniture and Spatial Design from The Bergen National Academy of the Arts.

ON THEIR DESIGN PHILOSOPHY “We don’t have any strict rules regarding our designs - every product needs a different approach. There are always new things to learn and new ways to achieve high design quality. Inspiration can emerge from anywhere, but a good product needs a lot of work and a couple of designers loving their job.”

ON NEW NORDIC “New Nordic designers seem to be more playful than the older predecessors. You see them playing with abstractions and simplifications of everyday objects, often in a very humorous way. Maybe they feel less obligated to follow the traditions of Scandinavian design. However, you will in most cases find something Scandinavian in there…”

Tveit&Tornøe was established in September 2006, but has already received much recognition. In 2007 they received the Young Talent award of the Year in Norway.
