We’re turning 85 – and we’re celebrating with our hearts! - LK Hjelle

This year, we’re celebrating something truly special:

85 years of Norwegian design, craftsmanship, and furniture made to last.

It all began in 1940, in the small village of Sykkylven — at a time when the world was anything but peaceful. But Lars Karl Hjelle believed in creating lasting value: local workplaces, beautiful objects, and furniture made with care and purpose.That belief still drives us today.

Through decades of shifting trends, technology, and challenges, we’ve stayed true to one thing: Furniture should matter.It should endure life. Age with grace. And be made with love – in Sykkylven, just like it always has.

We’re not just celebrating the past – we’re looking forward. To new ideas, new collaborations, and new designs that, just like the Siesta chair, might become tomorrow’s icons.

So to everyone who’s been part of the journey – thank you.And to all of you who continue to cheer for Norwegian craftsmanship: we see you, and we’re so glad to have you with us.

Here’s to 85 years of long lasting love– and many more to come.

Happy anniversary to us!
