Founded in Oslo by Petter Skogstad and Fredrik Wærnes, we visited the industrial designers to talk about the development of Kassett for Røros Tweed, and the foundations that shape their wider practice.
 

Skogstad & Wærnes

Textiles don’t have a fixed shape like a chair. It moves and adapts to its surroundings. It’s both two dimensional and extremely three dimensional at the same time.

"We started sketching on Kassett some years ago. Our inspiration was connected to repeated rectangular structures – architectural constructions, tiles, window frames and particularly Japanese Shoji doors and Tatami floor mats."

"Colours are always difficult on paper and screen. That’s why we always prefer to examine physical yarn samples. However during the design process we always make drawings. Whether it’s to investigate bindings or patterns or bigger motifs, we need to stop by the good old paper and screen."
