Kristine Five Melvaer

Kristine Five Melvær (1984–) is a Norwegian designer primarily active in the creation of accessories, decorative objects, and textile design. She graduated in Industrial Design in 2008 and later specialized in Visual Communication. In her work, she skillfully combines both disciplines, creating products with vivid yet soothing colors that are highly recognizable and emotionally engaging. Ceramics and colored glass are among her preferred materials, explored through numerous creations for brands such as Poltrona Frau, HAY, and When Objects Work. Her collaboration with Røros Tweed is particularly significant. For this Norwegian wool company, she designed blankets and cushions featuring rich patterns inspired by Scandinavian nature. Equally noteworthy is her work with Heymat, a distinctive brand specializing in designer doormats and rugs.
