Welcome to
Cylindra Gallery
– right by the picturesque Storfjord
TUSVIK / SYKKYLVEN / WESTCOAST OF NORWAY
Sitting on the edge of Storfjord with 500m2 and more than 80 objects, you are invited to enter a journey of thought and imagination in the borderland between pure functionality and creative playfulness.
The unique Cylindra Objects designed by Peter Opsvik, draw inspiration both from the nature of Western Norway as well as the emotional life of us humans.
Are you curious about the stories behind the place and the objects? Please ask the local gallerist: Kjellbjørn Tusvik has been in charge of both production and the gallery since 1989.
Cylindra Objects
“If we roll up a sheet of paper or a canvas, we get a cylinder. The surface has no end horizontally, only vertically. When working with graphic art and paintings, in two dimensions, on paper or canvas, I used to wish that I had a basic wooden form that could be shaped freely.
The solid wood cylinder fulfilled my wishes! The surface of the cylinder gave complete freedom for shaping and the internal volume of the cylinder could be used for functional purposes.”
