The Troll vase takes its name from a famous painting by the 19th-century Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen, which depicts a mythological water spirit rising from the dark waters of a forest pond. This trio of beautifully rounded vases displays a gradient of colour due to the change in thickness of the glass – a lovely addition to any home, and a simple way to add Classic Blue this year. Menu, ‘Troll’ vase, £50 www.utilitydesign.co.uk
The Doze lounge chair by Norwegian design duo Anderssen & Voll arose from a desire to create a design with a modern expression, referencing the ideas of Scandinavian design with hints of 1970s design for a contemporary perspective on the archetypical lounge chair. With its calm, blue tone, it is perfect for lounge areas in hotels or offices, as well as for relaxing at home in front of the TV or with a good book.
