About Matre
Matre is a Norwegian design brand founded in 2023 by Elizabeth Matre-Aas and her husband Ole Kristian Bergsjø Aas, created from a deep passion for Norwegian cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and design traditions. The brand was born from a desire to rediscover and revitalise a nearly forgotten era of the Norwegian furniture industry, when strong design traditions were internationally recognised and exported around the world.

Matre works to rebuild and strengthen the Norwegian furniture industry by putting Norwegian design back on the international map. Through collaboration, dialogue, and initiatives such as Design Salon, the brand actively contributes to creating new energy within the design field and industry. Design Salon is an initiative by Matre, created as a dynamic meeting place for Norwegian design, industry, and creativity.

Every product is created with a focus on quality, material awareness, and craftsmanship. Matre works from a holistic perspective, where consideration for nature, people, craft traditions, and the local communities connected to the brand is a natural part of the process. At the same time, the brand places great emphasis on the human values behind production — with a focus on authenticity, community, and personal development.

Matre has been awarded the “Made in Norway” label by Innovation Norway — a mark of quality confirming that the products are manufactured in Norway and meet high standards for responsible and transparent production principles.
