We all must have been to countless jewellery and homeware shops offering traditional and modern items that look stunning. How many of you had the curiosity to see what takes to make such objects? To kill such eagerness and see a little bit luxurious side of Bergen, I strongly urge you to pay a visit to Arven Concept Store.

Arven is a Économusée whose stores are a combination of a workshop and a museum, allowing the public to meet the craftsmen to see their work. The artisans working in such concept stores integrally work toward preserving traditional arts and crafts, by amalgamating them with modern techniques.

Arven store is situated in Bryggen, between St. Mary’s Church and Bergenhus Fortress. They have been operational for the past 150 years but very recently opened their workshop doors for the public. Arven offers a broad range of silver cutlery, unique jewellery and beautiful interior décor items. These timeless creations are handcrafted in the heart of Bergen by experienced craftsmen. Norwegian families have been cherishing their silver dinner sets and traditional ornaments for almost 100 years and keep passing this legacy.
Their distribution channels include their gift shops, country’s leading jewellers and some privileged families.
