Since its debut in 2015, “Eventyrlig Oppussing” has become a cultural touchstone, resonating with audiences through its celebration of Norway’s rich cabin culture. As a proud sponsor we are happy to announce our collaboration in the newest season. Both connected by Norwegian heritage, BOEN adds a real sense of nature to the projects.
Halvor Bakke, born in 1970, is a distinguished Norwegian interior designer and TV personality, renowned for his transformative work on the popular TV3 series “Eventyrlig Oppussing”. Now celebrating its 10th season, this show has captured the hearts of viewers as Bakke and his team journey across Norway, breathing new life into cabins and holiday homes embedded in some of the country’s most stunning landscapes.
Bakke’s design philosophy is a reflection of his deep connection to the Norwegian environment and a commitment to sustainable living. He skilfully combines natural materials with a colour palette inspired by the outdoors, creating interiors that are not only visually striking but also deeply functional. His work seamlessly marries contemporary comfort with traditional craftsmanship, resulting in spaces that are both inviting and timeless.
The show highlights the importance of preserving these cherished retreats – many of which were originally built without modern conveniences like running water or electricity. One of the show’s most memorable projects involved the transformation of a century-old cabin perched on a remote fjord. Bakke’s team preserved the cabin’s rustic charm while introducing modern elements, such as energy-efficient insulation and locally sourced wood, ensuring the space was both sustainable and true to its heritage. United by these shared values we are glad to be participating in the upcoming projects: This season, the series introduces a new collaboration with BOEN, adding a fresh layer to the renovations.
As Norwegians continue to seek solace in the tranquillity of the mountains and archipelagos, “Eventyrlig Oppussing” serves as a source of inspiration, reminding viewers of the enduring beauty and cultural significance of these rustic escapes.
