Norwegian brand Nedre Foss has cultivated a design direction founded in thoughtful, slow living. A curated set of home objects that are intended to be used and equally appreciated as sculptural pieces to enhance the everyday. Founded on the concept of the 'Century Product', the goal is to create objects that will last for at least 100 years and where utility and sculptural qualities are equal parts of the function.
An object will always be an impression of the current time. We believe however, that true sculptural quality surpasses shifting trends.
Nedre Foss was founded in 2009 by award winning duo Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll of design studio Anderssen & Voll. They aspire to create the "Century Product" which will last at least 100 years without any decrease in attractiveness or utility.
Enduring materials like brass, cast iron, wood and glass have been interpreted with both innocence and clean, confident Scandinavian sophistication. Handmade processes are combined with high-spec technology to produce unique works of design.
The company collaborates closely with designers who are influenced by concerns for longevity, beauty, simplicity and sustainability. Surprising or quirky elements are incorporated with a functional approach to solving design problems in a unique, memorable way.
Timeless, sustainable, and intriguing—these are just a few of the descriptors that founders Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll endeavoured to have when starting Nedre Foss twelve years ago.
