Designer
Lars Beller Fjetland grew up on the west coast of Norway, where he has nurtured a lifelong fascination for the marriage of function with the finest of nature's materials in furniture, interiors and lighting. He established his self-entitled Design office Beller design in 2011 while still being a student at Bergen Academy of Art and Design. He had his breakthrough in 2013 as he launched four of his latest designs at the annual Salone de mobile.
Graduating with a Bachelors' Degree from Bergen National Academy of the Arts in 2012, Lars is constantly looking to broadening his horizon as a dedicated explorer of form and function through various new projects. The core philosophy of Lars Beller Fjetland is to design products that achieve a sense of both timelessness and longevity through an immediate, honest functionalism in form and aesthetic. Sustainable yet sophisticated solutions for a smarter tomorrow.
