Roros Tweed Collection 2022

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. His works are showcased by leading museums and art collections around the world. In September 2012 Melgaard opened the exhibition “A house to die in” at the Institute of Contemporary Art in London. For the exhibition Røros Tweed was engaged to weave a 500m2 large floor carpet. Røros Tweed’s contribution to the exhibition inspired Bjarne Melgaard to further collaboration.
