In Sigrid Undset's Garden

Marit Brandtsegg / Kristin Brandtsegg Johansen

A story of creation, a love for nature, and shaping one's own world. At Bjerkebæk, in the hills above Lillehammer, Nobel laureate Sigrid Undset didn't just create great literature – she cultivated an extraordinary garden. Arriving in 1919 as a pregnant mother of two, she transformed a barren plot into a lush, vibrant sanctuary, fulfilling a lifelong dream. This living artwork, perhaps a muse for her writing Kristin Lavransdatter, mirrored her inner life. In Sigrid Undset's Garden takes you into this dream world, exploring how she sowed, and shaped her personal idyll, revealing the profound connection between the garden and her literary genius. As Undset herself wrote in 1925, "I love this old house unspeakably... In summer, when the delphiniums bloomed... it was a joy to wake every morning and look out."

Wild Garden Joy

Mariann Gundersen

In Wild Garden Joy you can draw inspiration from Norway’s most beautiful naturalistic garden and find tips for creating an outdoor space with a relaxed, lush, natural feel. How wonderful would it be to step barefoot into a garden paradise inspired by nature—and feel yourself relax as you gaze at the wildflowers and swaying ornamental grasses around you? The book introduces you to the naturalistic style of gardening and all its possibilities. You’ll learn how to choose and combine plants to create a lively look that suits its surroundings, using plants that thrive where you live. Whether you’re starting a garden from scratch or want to add a few elements to an established one, you’ll find useful advice along the way. By taking inspiration from the way plants grow in nature, you can create an outdoor space with a character all its own. Naturalistic planting requires less maintenance than traditional ornamental flowerbeds. It uses wild and cultivated plants suited to local conditions. These gardens are designed to last, developing and changing over time. You can bring together a diversity of plants with different heights, colours, shapes and textures. In turn, the plants will attract bees and other beneficial insects, birds and small animals. Author and garden designer Mariann Gundersen shares her experience and knowledge so that you, too, can create a garden like this, wherever you live in the country and however much space you have. She runs a business of the same name, Vill hageglede, offering naturalistic planting design to private and commercial clients. She is among those with the most experience in naturalistic gardens, a growing trend in garden design. This garden won Gundersen the 2023 Scandinavian Design Awards prize for Best Garden Design of the Year. In the jury’s words: “Mariann Gundersen’s interpretation of garden-design legend Piet Oudolf’s approach, and her adaptation of his style to Nordic conditions, has attracted attention both in Norway and internationally. This is a garden that speaks to the senses, with a natural appearance and aesthetic that continually change through the seasons. It is a sustainable form of garden design that benefits pollinators, wildlife—and people.”

Norwegian Mittens

Nina Granlund Sæther

Timeless mittens, powerful stories – 34 patterns rooted in Norwegian tradition In this inspiring collection, acclaimed designer Nina Granlund Sæther presents 34 exquisite mitten patterns, all grounded in the rich heritage of traditional Norwegian knitting. Using pure Norwegian wool yarn, each design features elegant, contemporary colour palettes that are fresh, muted, and beautifully balanced. What sets this book apart is its subtle feminist thread: each mitten is named after a remarkable Norwegian woman—trailblazers like Aasta Hansteen, Betzy Kjelsberg, Camilla Collett, and Gina Krog. Alongside each pattern, you’ll find a short introduction to their lives and legacies, celebrating their contributions while keeping their stories quite literally in your hands. The book is also a practical treasure trove for knitters. It addresses the most common questions and challenges: covering yarn and colour selection, needle types, gauge, sizing, picking up stitches for the thumb, how to read and mirror pattern diagrams, correcting mistakes, decorative techniques, and final finishing. Whether you’re an experienced knitter or a beginner eager to learn, you'll find expert support and inspiration on every page. All patterns are available in both women’s and men’s sizes. The mitten is close to designer Nina Granlund Sæther's heart – it is one of her favourite items to knit and design, and she is perhaps our foremost designer of knitted mittens in Norway. There is no one better to help you keep your hands warm through the colder seasons.
