PRODUCTS FOR THE EXHIBITION
KVEIK - Kveik is a series of candlesticks. Three designs in combinations with five different types of clay and five different Norwegian types of wood. The manufacturing technique is turning, probably one of the oldest ways to shape material. A kind of cycle can be seen in KVEIK. With their circular variations, the wheel, the wood, the clay, the fire and the candle help to bind them together, each in its own way.
