6 Elle melle 7 Camill a Pry t z Camilla Prytz was born in 1971 in Oslo, with a love for jewelry, architecture, design and literature in her genes. I 1993 she became interested in the world of glass, and decided to study glass blowing at The Kosta Boda glass school in Sweden. She started her own glass studio in 1995, and has been working non-stop with glass ever since, using several techniques. She has developed her own line of hand-blown drinking glasses, big colorful plates, tableware, chandeliers and decorations. Her glass works are inspired by the beauty of nature, flowers, butterflies, fish, birds and stars, created with a twist of peace & love & rock´n roll. In 2002 Camilla launched her first jewelry collection `Glass & Glamour`, featuring handmade pieces of glass art and sterling silver. In 2009 she introduced a brand new line of jewelry called “ANIMALS”, made in solid sterling silver. The jewelry is spotted on royals and pop stars around the world. Camilla`s philosophy is to make her glass works and jewelry so delicious that you want to eat them…Camilla commutes between Oslo, Kristiansand and New York. She eats a lot of green stuff, and is heavily committed to yoga. She is the only Norwegian who is certified as a yoga teacher by Sri Dharma Mittra , known as “The Rock of Yoga”.

Knu t Bry
Knut Bry was born in 1946 on a farm in the valley of Hallingdal in
Norway. His exceptional skills led him from the farm which he still
owns to the hotspots of the world. He has worked as a chef, model,
fashion designer, and world class photographer. He has won a number
of prestigious photographic awards, including “Photographer of the
Year” in the US in 1986. Knut lived in Paris and New York for 29 years.
Now his farm in Hallingdal is his home base, but he also spends time
in his 4 square meter room in Oslo, when he is not traveling the world.
Knut is a minimalist, an environmentalist, and a vegetarian who doesn’t
smoke or drink. His camera is an extension of himself, and he creates
pictures 20 hours a day, every day. He turns absolutely anything into art
photography – whether it is a famous fashion model or a simple piece of
wood. His creativity and fantasy has no limits. He also listens to music
no one else has even heard of, ranging from Namibian desert music to
obscure contemporary music groups. Knut even makes his own music
with whatever he has on hand, always in search of strange sounds. Every
day he makes something new as he bikes around with his camera hanging
from his neck. With a simple hammock packed in his backpack, he sleeps
outdoors to capture the perfect picture when the rest of us hurry home to
warm our bodies by the open fire.
