Description

Røros Tweed's Lofoten is a thinner throw that makes use of a two-tone pattern to its full potential. Finished with a decorative fringe, Lofoten is the result of collaboration by Norwegian designers Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll. Røros Tweed's Lofoten throw is named after the traditional knitted sweaters worn by fishermen in the Lofoten Islands, which stretch out into the Norwegian Sea.

High-quality home textiles by the Norwegian Røros Tweed are made from 100% Norwegian lambswool, shorn from sheep living free in the mountains. The manufacturing process is also kept fully in Norway to maintain high standards, which have been essential to the company's continued success since the 1940s.

Anderssen & Voll

The design agency Anderssen & Voll was born in 2009, when Torbjørn Anderssen (b. 1976) and Espen Voll (b. 1965), founders of an Oslo-based design company Norway Says decided to start a new company. The duo share a similar background, having both studied at the Oslo School of Art and at the Bergen School of Art and Design, where Anderssen is currently a professor.

In terms of their work, they also share the same goals: Anderssen & Voll want to design and create products that will last a lifetime, both in terms of function and aesthetics. The design studio has done work for a number of different clients, including Muuto, Swedes, Iform, Fjordfiesta and LK Hjelle. They have been awarded several prizes both in their home country Norway and abroad.
