Bio
Cathrine Kullberg (1971) lives in Oslo, Norway. She set up Cathrine Kullberg Lighting in 2006, launching her first lamp Norwegian Forest, spring 2007.
Cathrine Kullbergs’s educational mix of political science, arts history, design and architecture, was topped up with a Masters Degree at Central Saint Martin’s College of Art and Design in London in 2000. An inspiring guest lecture by the London based designer Thomas Heatherwick brought her to the studio, where she was employed as project designer and project manager. Back in Oslo she continued as project leader at Norsk Form, Norwegian Centre of Design, Architecture and the Built Environment. Other work experience includes freelance journalism in design and architecture magazines and national papers.
This diverse experience has prepared and inspired Cathrine to enter the land of lighting. The first model launched will not be her last – new models will regularly surface.
With Cathrine seeing the lamps through from idea to design and production, the lamps have evolved interesting design solutions to the challenges met through the close encounter between material, craft and design, lending the lamps both a personal touch , and a high quality finish. The design and production process has led to the assembly of a group of skilled local manufacturers and not to outsourcing to standardized overseas mass production that accomplishes reduced prices at the cost of individuality. The character of the designs would not allow it.
