Designers Saturday 2021 – Launch Yggdrasil In Norway
Designers Saturday is a biennale of design and the largest design happening in Norway. This year, 10th-12th September we have launched our first international collaboration, a rich and mystical rug collection Yggdrasil, designed by renown British designer Yorgo Lykouria from Rainlight Studio. The national launch taken place at A Huseby, Oslo.
It was a joy to meet many of our clients, old and new, collaborators and visitors. Thank you for the positive and inspiring feedback on our new rugs!

The collection challenges the limits of art, design and craft with the original sketches featuring intricate highly detailed abstract compositions that are inspired by London graffities as well as Nordic folklore. They are organic, wild and dark. These qualities were translated and modified to create exquisite luxury rugs with richness of textures, elevations and colours.
“Creating Yggdrasil was a creative process that united art with craft and industrial design. Together Rainlight and Volver were looking to unite London Street culture with ancient Norse Mythology!” - Yorgo Lykouria, creative principal and founder of Rainlight Studio.
The collection consists of four designs Yggdrasil, Urd, Verdande and Skuld. The rugs are hand tufted with an exceptional level of detail, equal to the craft applied in haute couture.
Yggdrasil and the collaboration with Rainlight represent Volver’s first entry into the UK market and the first initiative as a cross-cultural design collaboration.
