Wik & Walsøe

Wik & Walsøe is a Norwegian design studio that creates porcelain and glass products. The inspiration is bound from our deep respect for the untamed Scandinavian nature. The earth and the ocean that we only have on loan, which we must take gentle care of and pass on to the next generation. Wik & Walsøe started as a business plan written on a bench in the garden. Since our start in 2006, we have managed to make our mark as a distinctive new voice within Scandinavian design with fine porcelain and glass. We have become a universe of our own, with products that are already considered design classics. Our philosophy is about taking care of the resources we have been given, and taking care of them, so that we can pass it on with pride. For us, high-quality products help create long lasting value. With this philosophy at our heart, we want to inspire to a mindset where it is the small actions that can help make a big difference. When we established Wik & Walsøe in 2006, we made a choice to have our production in a country where money for food on the table is not a certainty. We travelled to Bangladesh. Ever since, we have spent a lot of time in the porcelain factory to create and shape our unique expression, in collaboration with people that have become dear colleagues. We have gotten to know skilled people with professional pride and competence. People that have shared with us their knowledge and life experiences. They have let us take part in a reality where our everyday problems fades. They have taught us to see the world that we live in from a humble point of view. The have nurtured the phrase «to take care of» – given us a deeper understanding, and a wish to strive for exactly that – to take care of.
