LARS
B. FJETLAND
Emboldened by elements of his Nordic upbringing, Lars Bel-
ler Fjetland has fostered a deep appreciation for the natural
world and its indispensable presence in the field of design.
First introduced to woodworking as a child, he regards wood as
“the very root of [his] ever-growing passion for designing and
creating objects.” In 2011, he established his self-titled design
office, Beller Design, with the ambition to cultivate objects that
fulfil their purpose without sacrificing the aesthetic appeal for
which they are sought. He believes that it is a designer’s mis-
sion to produce objects that are enduring and will appeal for
generations to come. Both curious and pragmatic, he strives
to underscore the inherent qualities of natural materials; func-
tional, sustainable and innately beautiful.
