Working in Oslo, Norwegian designer Kathrine Hovind focuses her studio practice on preserving and reinterpreting vulnerable Scandinavian craft techniques—specifically manual wood-turning and historical botanical dyeing. Hovind hand-carves low platters, catch-alls, and sculptural vessels from native hardwoods, taking care to preserve natural variations in wood grain, sapwood, and knots.

Once turned, the raw timber is steeped in natural dye baths extracted from locally harvested bark, roots, and flora,allowing deep organic pigments to soak through the fiber. Her objects carry a quiet, tactile weight, bridging Nordic material heritage with clear geometric silhouettes. Hovind’s work brings the quiet rhythm of the Scandinavian forest directly into the interior, offering functional objects that age gracefully alongside the rhythms of daily domestic life.
