Stein Haanshuus (b. 1949) was born and raised in Oslo. Influenced by the countercultural movements of the 1970s, he settled in Røros, where he established a workshop in 1982. Since then, he has worked with wood across a range of contexts.
Together with Niels Noer, he founded Flanderborg Treverksted, focusing on the design and production of interior.Today, both his workshop and his home are located in the centre of Røros.
His current practice draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including Norwegian folk art, sculpture and painting.
