Figgjo is the sole remaining large-scale porcelain manufacturer in the Nordics. They firmly believe that crafting their porcelain locally makes for a better product. The Figgjo artisans make beautiful, functional and durable porcelain for the professional market, in close collaboration with Norway’s leading chefs and designers.

For their new website, we wanted to present the story of Figgjo and evoke emotions that resonate with the brands’ unique legacy – their fine designs, products and proud craftspeople. The Figgjo people – and premises – are expressively captured in images by Holt & Paulsen, revealing the timelessness of their approach.
