Figgjo Series
Figgjo Flor
A Natural Beauty
With Flor, nature and design come together in this new collection, developed in collaboration with the Oslo-based design duo Studio Sløyd.
Inspired by both the botanical world and the floral ceiling rosettes found in traditional architecture, the design explores how familiar shapes can be taken apart and brought together in new ways, much like a herbarium.
And just as a herbarium can be preserved and appreciated for generations, we believe good porcelain should stand the test of time, too.
Made to be used, loved, and enjoyed for many, many years.
That’s what quality means to us.
“Our vision required extensive development, expert craftsmanship, and close collaboration with Figgjo to create a design that could be reproduced with the same high quality every time.”
– Studio Sløyd
A little character goes a long way
We wanted to create a collection that brings a little something extra to the buffet, without taking attention away from the food. The shapes are clean and modern, with soft curves and subtle height variations that create a lovely play of light and shadow in the glaze.
And of course, it has to work.
Flor is made for everyday use in busy hotels and restaurants, where porcelain needs to be both beautiful and practical.

Behind the scenes
What started as sketches, conversations and observations evolved through countless prototypes, adjustments, kiln firings, failures and discoveries.
We also care a great deal about how our porcelain is made.
In fact, we believe Figgjo may be the greenest porcelain manufacturer in the world. It’s a big claim, we know, but making porcelain with as little impact on the planet as possible is something we work hard at every day.
The collection consists of five pieces: three bowls and two platters.
At the center is a large, flower-shaped piece that adds a little elegance to the buffet while letting the food do the talking. It feels just as natural in a modern setting as it does in a more traditional one.
“The design introduces tactility to a rather sterile market area. We hope users will experience and feel the quality of the objects, while also recognising the amount of thought, care, and time invested in the project.”
– Studio Sløyd
Every detail counts
Instead of simply making the same bowl in three different sizes, we wanted to give each one its own character. They are different, but you can still tell they belong together. A bit like a family.
A subtle pinch runs through the collection, giving the pieces direction and allowing for different arrangements, from neat and organized to more playful.
And there’s a practical side to it too.
When you place the pieces with their pinches facing each other, they create little spaces that are perfect for smaller bowls. A nice way to make the most of the space you have on the buffet.
Studio Sløyd is a design studio based in Oslo, Norway, founded by Herman Ødegaard and Mikkel Jøraandstad. They work cross the design landscape, from self-initiated exhibitions to collaborations with brands to create thoughtful, compelling objects.
Their approach to design is inspired by the educational sløyd taught in Scandinavian primary schools, focusing on exploration and respecting the material in use.
“The knowledge embedded within Figgjo makes it possible for designers to bring forward new ideas that can actually be realised.”
