Hospitality is the art of crafting unforgettable experiences. It’s about giving people on the go, a place to feel at home. About finding moments of rest and comfort during a busy day. It’s giving someone a meeting place that fuels inspiration and conversation. It’s that feeling of being at a unique and luxurious place. For us that’s exquisite hospitality.
The Bolder: On the edge, both figuratively and literally
“It was a desire to create an experience that is truly special and authentic, where nature plays the leading role”.
-Frank Denis Foray, Snøhetta’s Lead Architect on the Bolder project. ØYA
Rather than competing with nature, the lodges’ simplistic design and minimal furnishing seamlessly blend and harmonise with its breathtaking surroundings.
“Norrøna values exceptional craftsmanship, sustainable choices, and bold design statements. And I know their Norwegian heritage was important for them when decorating the Norrøna House. We aimed for a sense of Nordic minimalism, but with an added touch of boldness”.
– Morten Hippe, COO Eikund
“For Amerikalinjen, the whole process has been about uncovering an identity. An identity that honors a strong heritage while at the same time recognizing the times we live in. We knew we wanted a classy, yet almost fun vibe. This is where the journey began for so many Norwegians, and the excitement should be radiating from the walls.”

“The treehouse has always been a special place for us, a place to escape, to connect, to relax, to enjoy creation, breathe in fresh air, adventure out hiking, enjoy time with each other”.
– Kjartan Aano, owner of the Woodnest
“The products we use and have available for our guests, have been chosen because they have been locally sourced, which also adhere to our care and concern for our environment and supporting local businesses. We care for the environment, and therefore try our best to choose non-toxic and environmental sustainable products as possible.”
– Kjartan Aano, owner of
the Woodnest
“For us it was important to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere where comfort was the main focus. At the same time, it was essential to convey a sense of exclusivity, with material choices and quality playing key roles.
I love the fact that this is high-quality Norwegian design.”
– Eva-Linda Ramnestedt, Smak Restaurant
“When we envisioned Code, we aimed for an elegant restaurant without a ‘cold’ atmosphere. We wanted a classic look with a twist, aligning with our food philosophy of presenting the timeless in a contemporary way. It was essential for our interior to mirror this vision, making Eikund an obvious choice for furniture. We share the same values: Code expresses it through cuisine, and Eikund through design. Supporting local suppliers is also a priority for us, both for interiors and ingredients. With the demanding wear of restaurant use, we needed high-quality chairs, and choosing Eikund gave us confidence that our investment would stand the test of time.”
– Eirik Stroem Lilleboe, General Manager Code
Hattvika Lodge - dare we say: Lofoten Haute Couture?
“Everything around us is authentic and Norwegian, and that is the vibe we wanted to share inside the walls as well. We are located in a place where quality is crucial, I mean, houses have been found floating in the sea after storms here, so proper craftsmanship is in our bones. But even though we come from a harsh and practical environment, we also value simplicity and style and we wanted that classic tough to really heighten the typical North Norwegian experience.”
– Kristian Bøe, Owner Hattvika Lodge
For Eikund, exquisite hospitality has always been a key component in how we design, how we craft and how we want our products to perform. We want our furniture to enhance the given feeling of the room. To be a part of their surroundings and elevate the desired vibe.
Each and one of our products bring that feeling of subtle luxury and inviting comfort. Eikund is that one peace of the puzzle that grounds the room, making it all feel as a whole.
“While our catalogue celebrates the iconic designs of the 1950s and 60s that really enhances any room, we see that in certain hospitality projects there’s a need for a more holistic approach. That’s when we turn to the Eikund lab – where we create selected custom-made pieces. It’s a subtle extension of our heritage, adding a unique twist without shifting the spotlight from the timeless classics we are so proud of. Whether we incorporate the work from our lab or not, our collection remains at the forefront, with everything we create in the lab designed to supplement and enhance a project. The lab is where we push our boundaries, exploring new materials and possibilities”.
– Morten Hippe, COO Eikund
“We wanted to create an exclusive and timeless atmosphere that transported guests away from the everyday, allowing all attention to be focused on the culinary experience. It was essential that the design was timeless and subdued, with materials that complemented the rest of the interior. That’s also why we developed several custom-designed pieces tailored specifically for the restaurant.”
– Pål Arnulf Trodahl, Architect RE-NAA Restaurant
“In a space like this, it’s all about creating a feeling that is grounding and calm. We wanted the atmosphere to be almost reassuring in away. It’s a room made solely for conversation and problem solving, and you want people to feel comfortable, to be able to concentrate on the topics that are being discussed, and safe, to express their thoughts and insights.
- Morten Hippe, COO Eikund

“When developing Finansparken, the award winning Headquarter for SpareBank 1 Sør Norge, local sourcing was a conscious priority, and Eikund’s timeless designs aligned perfectly with our vision for a truly Norwegian interior. Their dedication to craftsmanship and commitment to perfection mirrored our values – quality in every detail, a minimalist aesthetic, and comfortable yet functional solutions. The people in this building are accustomed to, and expect excellence, making it crucial that the environment reflects this. In the end Eikund’s genuine passion for Norwegian heritage, for design and furniture, really blended exquisitely in with our vision and hence superb result.”
– Pia Fischer, Project/Concept Manager Finansparken
“Bringing together people from all walks of business life under one roof, while ensuring everyone feels at home, was our goal—and together, we’ve made it a reality. Throughout the process, trust was our top priority. Partnering with someone who truly understood our needs and delivered high-quality products gave us the confidence to bring our vision to life. We also have a strong focus on local expression, and collaborating with a regional partner felt natural from the very beginning.Eikund’s furniture adds a distinctive touch to our stadium, where quality design, football, and emotion come together to create an inspiring and vibrant atmosphere.”
Eirik Bjørnø, CEO Viking Fotball
Our focus is on making the best quality furniture that we can, so that you can focus on creating the perfect room for the occasion. Whether that is in a hotel, a restaurant, an office or in a cafe. We want to give the room a grounding element, that little something that is hard to put your finger on, but is definitely missing if it’s not there.
That’s exquisite hospitality.
