Glo is a sculptural tealight holder, which will, true to Nedre Foss' ideology, serve its owner for at least a century. Designers Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll examined various structures, surfaces and materials – from pre-history to modern Scandinavian design tradition – in order to establish what kind of an object would stand the test of time. The outcome is a beautiful cast iron tealight holder, which was given the name Glo, Norwegian for ember. Glo is a scoop of light that features a sturdy yet pleasant design and accommodates both standard and large tealights.

Designer
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 esthetics. 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.
