7 6 News News Introducing Moon by Clara von Zweigbergk Clara von Zweigbergk, born in Stockholm, grad- uated from Beckmans School of Design in Stockholm, and continued her studies at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, USA. After five years as a founder and partner in Rivieran, a Stockholm based multidisciplinary design studio, followed by four years as a senior graphic designer at Lissoni Associati, Milano, she opened her studio in Stockholm. Beside her passion for paper, colour and form, she has always been interested in textile, playing with different techniques like crochet, weaving and embroidery. She is currently working on several carpet series. With Moon throw, von Zweigbergk wanted to explore the reversibility of the woven patterns. Using a gradient between two contrasting colours, the design reminds of the moon or the sun, empha- sizing the throw’s duality. It can also be read as a play between a convex and concave shape. The Moon throw comes in four colourways where each colour explores the celestial shades of the sun and moon. From the soft pastels seen in the morning to the clear bright pallets seen during the night. Moon throw – tranquille green, yellow ray, crescent blue, rosy sky

Melvær holds a Masters degree in Industrial design and a Masters degree in Visual Communication. She explores the subject of object communication, bridging the disciplines of product design and graphic design.

21 20 News News The Kvam series is characterized by its playful geometry, which is based on the possibilities and limitations of jacquard weave. The motif clearly relates to the weave’s horizontal and vertical directions, while the diagonal lines create rhythm and dynamics. The pattern can be associated with both Norwegian and Japanese motifs. This season we expand the Kvam offering with 4 new 50x50cm cushions in greyscale, orange, green, blue.

29 28 Our story Our story The finest Norwegian lambswool Røros Tweed has produced high-quality wool products since 1940, based on centuries-old local craft traditions. Along coasts, hillsides, and mountains Norwegian sheep can be seen moving freely in their natural habitat. Due to both the Norwegian climate and its pastures Norwegian wool is one of the world’s most animal-friendly textile fibres. Norwegian wool meets the criteria for Cradle to Cradle – for good animal welfare, low energy consumption, and minimal use of chemicals. In 2015 Norilia was the first wool producer awarded with the Svane certification, the official Nordic ecolabel. Norilia’s wool washing supplier has developed a process where 96% of the water is cleaned and reused, making the process even more sustainable. This means that our wool is a completely biodegrad-able and a renewable resource that does not require to be washed or treated in the same way as other fibre types.

33 32 Our story Our story Eighty years of Røros Tweed Our story starts in the 18th century when valuable copper was discovered in Røros. It brought great wealth to some, but most people in the rural town remained poor. When Peder Hiort, the director of the mine died in 1789, he passed on his entire fortune to a foundation that provided textile education and raw materials to the less fortunate. This enabled the community to make garments that would keep them warm during the cold winter months. The foundation would also purchase these ready-to-wear garments and redistribute them back to the community as charity. Based on this Røros Tweed was established in 1940 and worked as a sales outlet for locally made textiles. Often, the workers who had received payment for the clothing they made, received the same clothing back. Peder Hiort’s legacy has created a tradition for handcraft and textile production that served to lay the foundations of Røros Tweed. Since then we have come a long way, but our core and passion for Norwegian wool has never changed. Through craftsmanship we continue to create wool products that last for generations and along the way inspire future textile artists and designers to keep the tradition alive.

65 64 Designers Designers Throughout the years we have worked with a vast selection of design talents. They have all contributed with their creativity and individual styles. For us at Røros Tweed it is important to work with both established and up-andcoming designers from various fields, to both challenge and develop our brand. We also see it as our responsibility to pass on knowledge about our craftsmanship, to ensure that the core of our work remains for generations to come. Anderssen & Voll Anderssen & Voll works within various fields of design with a focus on domestic objects. The studio was founded by the talented duo Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll, two of Norway’s most lauded designers. They have in recent years created numerous designs for Røros Tweed. Through a close collaboration over many years we have together gained great insight and broaden our vision of what is possible when it comes to creating new and lasting designs. Anderssen & Voll’s dedication and enthusiasm to the field of both design and weaving is indispensable in our design and weaving process. Inga Sempé The French designer Inga Sempé creates visual poetry. She is well-known around the world for being a designer with extra- ordinary sensibility. She has done remarkable works in furniture, lighting, objects and textiles for many renown brands. Sempé was awarded the Grand Prix de la Création en design de la Ville de Paris in 2003. Her two first works for Røros Tweed is the throws and cushions Agnes and Bernadette. Runa Klock Klock holds a master’s degree in design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts. She has a playful and curious approach in her designs. Her work is often inspired by nature and the natural beauty of different materials with a graphic touch are typical elements for her design. Klocks’ work is characterized by an openness to cooperate with people in various disciplines; her practice extends beyond product design to include food, exhibitions and entrepreneurship. Several of her projects have a strong social profile. Filos, Klocks design for Røros Tweed, is a soft and light throw. The throw comes in six different colours, all woven on the same striped warp. The pattern is inspired by the tartan seen in Scottish kilts. The colour blends that occur in the squares where the woven threads intersect, are harmonious and warm, and go from light to dark. This way you can choose your own expression, depending on how you fold the throw. Hallgeir Homstvedt Hallgeir Homstvedt holds a BA of Industrial Design and honours from Newcastle University in Australia. Working in fields of furniture, interior and product design, Homstvedt makes products that are tactile, interactive and engages the observer’s curiosity. For Røros Tweed he has designed Bislett, a series consisting of three throws in a soft and beautiful colour palette. Inspiration for this collection comes from the Moiré phenomenon, a visual effect that occurs when two repeating patterns are layered on top of each other, creating the illusion of movement. Snøhetta Snøhetta Design is an award-winning, multidisciplinary graphic design and branding agency incorporated within the Snøhetta architect offices in Oslo and New York. All of their projects are based on strong and sustainable concepts. Snøhettas’ method is based on collaboration with multiple professions working together to explore differing approaches to each project. Snøhetta has designed several throws for Røros Tweed, among them Colour Noise, which is still a favourite in the collection. “A field of soft lines with mud make their own way to the deep background, a seamless transition from glow to colour, from noise to silence” is how Snøhetta describes this beautiful throw. Elle Melle A graphic design studio based in Ålesund that has received the Award for Design Excellence from the Norwegian Design Council. They have collaborated closely with us since 2010 and because of their many years of working with Røros Tweed’s profile we wanted them to design our profile throw, Arv. The inspiration for the throw is drawn from Norwegian hand-weaving traditions – a cultural heritage with deep historical roots. Bjarne Melgaard Bjarne Melgaard is one of Norway’s foremost and internationally renowned contemporary artists. He has held more than 45 individual exhibitions at leading galleries around the world. He is also a frequent curator, author and producer, having written more than a dozen novels and produced several films.
