Nedre Foss

Nedre Foss is a Norwegian homeware brand directed by the Oslo design studio Anderssen & Voll, built around what it calls the Century Product: objects made to serve for at least a hundred years. The aim is “sculptural utility” – pieces in which form and use carry equal weight.

The collection is small and material-led: cast-iron candlesticks and candle snuffers, press-glass vases and a mould-blown jug, trays and bowls cut from a single block of ash, a cast-bronze bottle opener, porcelain serving dishes. Designs come from Anderssen & Voll alongside Julie Richoz, Sigve Knutson, Jin Kuramoto, Carina Seth Andersson and Lucidi Pevere, and each object is produced wherever the traditional craft technique is best kept alive.
