About Eikund Eikund was founded in 2016 by Morten Hippe, Frode Tingbø and Jørgen Tengesdal. Soon after, Kriss Elde joined the team as the first employee of Eikund.

The vision of the company is to increase the Norwegian contribution to the design world. Eikund has a mission to gather all the gold from Norwegian furniture design history under the same brand.

Eikund has a strategy for producing most of its products at the factory at Hellvik and making use of good Nordic partners.

Eikund has painstakingly picked products from well loved Norwegian designers such as Torbjørn Afdal, Arne Halvorsen, Fredrik A. Kayser, Bendt Winge, Sigurd Resell, Torbjørn Bekken, Sven Ivar Dysthe and Arne Tjomsland.

Jaer is a true mid-20th century design, but this is the first time it goes into serial production. The three-legged barstool definitely deserves more attention, it has a strong presence even though it has a humble and honest look. Sigurd Resell graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1947. He designed Jaer while working for the pioneering interior design company Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor in Oslo. The barstool consists of mostly solid wood, only to be contrasted by the brass ferrules at the bottom of the feet. The overall design makes the barstool classic and modern, a perfect choice for residential homes, professional workspaces, cafes and restaurants.

Hertug is an elegant dining chair recognisable by the lines between the backlegs and backrest. It was originally drawn for Viken Møbelfabrikk in Bergen by Fredrik A. Kayser while he was a freelance designer. Kayser graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1945. He designed Hertug with a simple and organic form to make it fit into all kinds of interiors. The seat has a light and floating effect created by only touching the frame where necessary, while the backrest makes you see and feel true craftsmanship.

Era is an innovative chair with a modern material mix. It was showcased at the Association of Applied Arts’ autumn exhibition in the mid 1950’s. Sven Ivar Dysthe’s prototype in steel, wood and leather was honoured in the Norwegian magazine Bonytt as the exhibition’s most interesting product. Dysthe graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1954. He designed Era with organic wood and industrial steel, resulting in a versatile chair suited to a range of styles and settings. The black powder coated steel frame, a steam bent T-shaped wooden backrest, together with a light and almost floating veneer seat, provide an elegant design and comfortable form. With its stackable ability it has a perfect combination of aesthetics and pure function. It is now in production for the first time!

With its turned siderails pointing upwards as horns the lounge chair Broadway makes a strong statement. This is a chair that won Torbjørn Afdal a gold medal at the craftsmanship fair “So Wohnt Europa” in Munich in 1959. Afdal graduated from the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1946 and worked his whole career for the legendary Tegnekontoret Bruksbo. He designed the chair with extreme attention to detail; the shape and transition between legs and armrest is beyond words.

Krysset is a Norwegian design icon with a distinguished crosslegged expression. Fredrik A. Kayser graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1945. He designed Krysset while being employed at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor between 1952-56. The crossed legs shape the overall structure of the chair with darker wooden nails in the joints enhancing the crafted beauty. The backrest is stretched out like a sail by a piece of leather sewn to the frame.

The Fluffy lounge chair by Fredrik A. Kayser is characterized by its ultra-soft upholstery in Norwegian sheepskin, and its sloping armrests leaning you into a welcoming embrace. Kayser graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry back in 1945 and the lounge chair was designed while being employed at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor. It combines both art and function into one, a floating cloud of fluffiness that builds on the past for the present.

This is a brand-new species that can live anywhere!

Evja is a family of lounge tables that Torbjørn Bekken designed with an organic and almost floating expression. Bekken graduated from the National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1946. Fresh from school he was picked up by the progressive furniture and interior design company Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor, where he worked for most of his career. and words best to describe him is technical, detail oriented and elegant. This can be exemplified by the long uninterrupted curving line from the edge of the table towards the legs, how it slightly narrowing downwards to the floor. It’s like a ballerina lightly tipping around on the surface.

Øya dining table is designed to hold up to four leaves.

We recommend that the support leg is in use from 2 leaves and up.

Øya is a extendable dining table that was only made for one client, a true “one of a kind” product. Sigurd Resell graduated from National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in 1947. He designed Øya while being employed at Rastad & Relling Tegnekontor in Oslo. What characterize Resell’s design are the defined logical constructions where form is decided by function. The elegant elliptical shape of the tabletop is both classical and modern, with legs that strengthens this feeling with an oval to round shape. We are proud to have this unique and beautiful table as part of the Eikund collection.

The Isbjørn figure is a physical pictogram resulting in a beautiful interpretation of the polar bear. It was designed in 1955 and awarded with a gold medal only two years later at the Deutsche Handwerksmesse in Munich. Arne Tjomsland got the inspiration from reading Polar literature as a child and the time he spent with his father, Preparator Michael Tjomsland at the Zoological Museum in Oslo.
