LK Hjelle: Furniture designed to last − and Made in Norway
- Published 3 December 2025; updated 25 March 2026; estimated reading time 3 minutes. Family-owned furniture maker LK Hjelle has designed and produced furniture in Sykkylven since 1940. CEO Jens Peter Brunstad describes the company’s goal as making products people keep for life while limiting environmental impact. The company has received the Made in Norway origin label.
- The article positions the certification as a way to distinguish locally made furniture from mass-produced, low-cost imports, communicate product origin and production methods, and appeal to customers seeking Scandinavian design and responsible manufacturing. LK Hjelle products are sold in private homes and public spaces in Norway and abroad; the company identifies further international growth potential and says Norwegian production is a competitive advantage.
- LK Hjelle plans to make the label central to marketing and use it to build awareness of Norwegian production. The article says the company has turnover-growth ambitions in existing and new markets; it does not state a quantified target. Contact: Jens Peter Brunstad, CEO, jens.peter@lkhjelle.no.
