From conceptual to finished design for Bank Frøya.
Winther Design offers comprehensive design solutions, from residential to commercial projects, as well as custom-made curations, art, objects and furniture.
Winther Design was founded in 2017 by Tania Winther, a multidisciplinary artist, product designer and interior designer based in Trondheim, Norway. Projects include multifaceted, experiential environments across residential, hospitality, commercial, and retail sectors, alongside collections of art, objects, and product designs. Often in collaboration with others around the world.

The Green Wow-Room at St.Olav Hospital, NTNU in Trondheim.
“I find great inspiration and enjoy learning through multidisciplinary collaborations which I’m fortunate to have with artists, artisans and designers,” says Winther. This is what gives Winther Design its distinctive style and a perspective that extends beyond the design itself, which leads to unique experiences for the users. For instance, designing a colourful and playful lake house or converting an old stable into a Scandinavian townhouse.
Winther Design has recently won an international design award for The Green Wow-Room at St.Olav Hospital, NTNU in Trondheim. Here, the challenge was to create a 6 sqm multifunctional space to be used as a patient room, office and showroom. With clever use of design features such as colour and light, the room is an example of how user-centred interior design and architecture can help to promote health.

Timeless elegance and futuristic cocoons
Winther Design’s latest project is the conceptual design for Bank Frøya, a local bank in the Trondelag region in Norway. It covers an area of 300 sqm and is a great showcase of how timeless elegance elevates interior design. “Our design is inspired by the proximity to the fjords, with the featured curves representing the ocean and the waves,” explains Winther. The feature wall and the reception area accentuate this design, from the moment customers enter the bank.
Another exciting project is the Cocoon House, a futuristic micro home developed in collaboration with Andres Femayor, a US-based architect, which is part of an ongoing architect competition. “This is an off-the-grid, functional and well-designed home consisting of 25 sqm, designed for a couple to live and work together comfortably,” explains Winther. “As the tiny house community is growing, this is a sustainable, low-cost option with a modern design. It has everything you need for a fully functional living space.”
Winther Design is also working on several new product and furniture designs, a few of which will be launched later this year.
