Ask og Eng Oslo

Ask Og Eng | In10

 Kine Ask Stenersen, an expert in environmental geography and climate change and Kristoffer Eng, architect, make up the duo behind the sustainable furniture firm Ask og Eng. For them, sustainability is a non-negotiable aspect of their design work and manufacturing process; that is why they mainly work with bamboo. This plant has some very particular characteristics, such as durability, resistance, versatility, and quality. Above all, sustainability, as it is a fast-growing plant that also helps to avoid desertification as its roots prevent rain from dragging the soil.

 

Strongly influenced by the Japanese aesthetic and many modern Scandinavian classics, not only do they design furniture of exceptional beauty, but they also do it with all their heart. Ask og Eng are passionate about their work, and that is evident in every detail. Click here to read  the previous post about their studio.
