Founded in Oslo by Norwegian designers Petter Skogstad and Fredrik Wærnes, “Skogstad & Wærnes” is a design studio born from a shared vision and a decade of expertise. Having honed their skills while working alongside leading brands across the globe, the duo decided to combine their talents in 2020, with a firm belief in the meaning of honest and thoughtful designs.

The creative journey behind MELLO
The genesis of their latest creation, MELLO, was an exploration of weaving techniques and patterns. Skogstad & Wærnes experimented with yarn and paper to develop a unique diagonal pattern. This innovative approach not only resulted in a structurally robust construction but also imbued the fabric with a soft, three-dimensional texture. The interplay between a white warp and mono-colored weft accentuates the intricate binding, creating a shine that showcases the inherent luster of Norwegian wool.
“We always find it interesting to embrace both the past and the future in our design processes”
Skogstad & Wærnes
“The MELLO Series is testament to the harmonious union of heritage and contemporary design that balances timeless elegance with an innovative approach.”
