Founded in 2023 by Elizabeth Matre-Aas and her husband Ole Kristian Bergsjø Aas,
Matre was born from a desire to create furniture of uncompromising quality, designed to be loved for generations. Honouring Norwegian craftsmanship, we work with the finest producers to develop both new and rediscovered design classics, helping shape our shared design history and carry the Norwegian cultural heritage forward.

Our first launch, “The Vatne Collection,” features designs by Sigurd Resell, Fredrik Kayser, and Knut Sæter;- all originating from the legendary Vatne factory, where our furniture is still produced to this day.

Our iconic stripe pattern was developed by Elizabeth in collaboration with textile designer Saga Nilsson at Innvik, made exclusively for Matre. Inspired by the simplicity and strength of lines, the design balances tradition and modernity, giving the furniture a distinctive identity. Produced in collaboration with Kvadrat.

Timelessness, craftsmanship, and the story behind Matre, a vision that connects past, present, and future, all made through 100% Norwegian production.
