Anderssen & Voll

Based in Oslo, the Anderssen & Voll studio has existed since 2009. Founded by Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll, the Norwegian duo develops an approach to design that articulates cultural considerations and industrial realities — rejecting both decorative formalism and pragmatism without vision.

This middle ground, difficult to maintain, has earned them several international awards including the Wallpaper Award and the Red Dot Award.

A typically Scandinavian approach

Both trained at the Bergen Academy of Art and Design in Norway, Anderssen and Voll extend a Nordic tradition of design: functionalism tempered by a poetic sensibility, natural materials treated with frankness, simple but not austere geometric forms.

Their work is in line with designers like Wegner or Aalto: objects that reveal their constructive logic without technical demonstration, that accept the everyday without trivializing it.

Collaborations with Scandinavian industry

Anderssen & Voll regularly collaborate with renowned Nordic publishers — Muuto, &Tradition, Horreds — who share their manufacturing requirements and their approach to design as a sustainable service rather than a spectacular signature.

These industrial partnerships demonstrate their ability to design products that are economically, technically, and aesthetically sound. No prototypes disconnected from production realities, but products designed for long-term manufacturing.

Table A stands for Horreds

Produced by the Swedish manufacturer Horreds, the A table perfectly illustrates the duo's approach: solid wood structure, visible joinery, balanced proportions. A dining table that embraces its structural simplicity without superfluous formal effects.

The generous tabletop, the stable base, the meticulous finish: everything responds to a practical need. Table A doesn't try to stand out in an interior; it blends in naturally.
