Sigve Knutson obtained an MA in Contextual Design at Design Academy Eindhoven in 2016. His practice is motivated by a fascination for the intuitive and playful rather than the smoothened and planned. Bokk is the first of Sigve’s objects ever to be industrialised.
It’s about making intuitively — I’m looking for these surprises in a way, maybe surprising myself more than others.

Timeless, sustainable, and intriguing—these are just a few of the descriptors that founders Torbjørn Anderssen and Espen Voll endeavoured to have when starting Nedre Foss twelve years ago.
The master mould of the Bokk was hand carved by Knutson. As with most of Sigve’s work, also this object is inextricably tied to his drawings. Drawing is very important to him, and the free and intuitive process of putting pen to paper was translated onto the object by hand carving directly into the blank plaster moulds.
