Hallgeir holds a BA of Industrial Design and honours from Newcastle University in Australia. After completing his degree in 2006, Homstvedt went on to work for the pioneer design studio Norway Says before opening his own design studio in 2009.

He now works across the fields of furniture, interior and product design, focusing on products that are tactile, interactive and engage the observer's curiosity. Hallgeir has previously designed the much loved "Bislett" series. In this post you will discover his process behind his latest design "Knut".

Knut draws inspiration from the most elementary process in weaving, the actual binding of the vertical and horizontal threads. The pattern is a tight and precise grid, drawn in saturated colours. The Knut series comes in five different colour combinations; cobalt blue, lime, field green, taupe and dove grey.

Knut was first launced as a series of throws. Now the series is getting expanded with matching seating pads.
