Fancy a light?
A Norwegian designer takes lighting in a whole new direction
here’s been a big focus
on lighting in the past
couple of years,” says
Andreas Engesvik, an
Oslo designer and one
of several young Norwegian luminaries
bringing bright ideas to lamp design.
Engesvik’s creations range from a
freestanding lamp that changes colour,
shape and transparency, to a Light
Tray (

which lets you change
the tinted glass cups over the bulbs to
create various different moods.
Formerly a member of acclaimed
design collective Norway Says, Engesvik
is now flying solo, diversifying his
portfolio with an innovative approach
to furniture, tableware and sculpture,
among many other beautiful things. His
striking range of lamps was one of the
highlights of the recent Furniture and
Light Fair in Stockholm.
“
It will take time before Norway can
match the design scenes in Sweden or
Denmark,” says Engesvik. “But excellent
young designers are coming through.”
