The ambition at Norwegian design firm Odd Standard is to make great products for chefs and restaurants; exploring different materials, old craft techniques and modern technology. Some odd and some standard, the products are meant to come in limited numbers, from their own workshop and from their portfolio of very skilled collaborative craftspeople.

Who is Odd Standard? 
​Constance Gaard Kristiansen
 and Tonje Sandberg, are two Norwegian product designers with extensive background from development and production of tableware. They worked together in Figgjo for many years, and while working alongside one another, found a common fascination for the experience of eating, and how tableware products could enhance this experience. Wanting to explore all the possibilities that different materials and techniques offer, they started the firm Odd Standard in June 2014.

The Odd Standard assortment of standards will count fifteen products by the end of 2015. Add to this the odd experiments that come from the Odd Standard workshop and from their collaborations with manufacturers and craftspeople, the range of Odd Standard products include ceramics, wood, stone, glass and concrete.

The Stavanger, Norway based design firm also has a ceramic micro-factory where they can make small-run, custom series in close collaboration with chefs and restaurants, from a carefully ​selected variety of clays and glazes, ranging from shiny and white to black and golden.

Odd Standard.
Indeed.
