In this month's Scan Magazine, Eikund is represented with the Isbjørn figure on the "We love this..." pages.
“We love this Isbjørn figure from Eikund, a new company re-launching Norwegian design classics that will most definitely impress. It is a physical pictogram resulting in a beautiful interpretation of the polar bear. Originally designed in 1955 by Arne Tjomsland, known for giving shape to animals from the Nordic fauna, this beautiful figure brings a piece of the Arctic into your home.”

eikund - august 2019
Broadway by Eikund – nominated in the category «Årets relansering» (Relaunch of the year) in Bo Bedre’s design awards
Broadway by Torbjørn Afdal – relaunched by Eikund, is nominated in Bo Bedre’s design awards in the same category as last year – «Årets relansering» (Relaunch of the year). The awards are held on August 28th.
The jury says:
Torbjørn Afdal won gold at the craft fair So Wohnt Europe in Munich in 1959 with the chair Broadway, and it's not hard to understand why. The rigid oak frame is nicely broken by the softpadded leather seat, while horn-like protrusions finishes the design in a devilish way. Eikund who has specializes in relaunches of Norwegian design, is also behind this.
