Factory Tøyen
Factory Tøyen is a creative center and facilitator of design, events, and food experiences at Tøyen—one of the most interesting neighborhoods in Central Oslo.
Set in a cavernous old textile factory, complete with rust-red brick facade and chimney stack, it’s a monument of Norwegian industrial history. Today, the building is a beacon for cultural exchanges acting as a hub for entrepreneurs, start-ups and new pioneers of industry.
Factory Tøyen is designed by MAD Arkitekter and features an incredible array of Fogia’s Tiki sofas and Bollo’s in textiles and leathers.

Designed with Andreas Engesvik, the iconic Tiki family is a visually simple collection with a high level of comfort. Named as a nod to Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon-Tiki expedition, it embodies a spirit of exploration and adventure, while the distinctive silhouette, reminiscent of billowing sails, evokes a sense of movement and grace. With its feather light, yet informal expression, the Tiki collection offers a bold ad elegant statement that transcends trends and remains an iconic centerpiece in any environment for decades to come. Made to the highest standards of craftsmanship and quality, Tiki can be specified in leather, suedes or textile, with a choice of leg colours. The collection consist of sofas in two sizes, armchairs in two sizes and a matching pouf.
Tiki’s soft lines and worn-in appearance make it feel almost familiar. It is a piece designed to be experienced, inviting the user to touch and explore its construction. The Tiki armchair matches the Tiki stool and sofa. For extra design scope, Tiki armchair is available in two sizes.
A piece that took the design world by storm. Bursting with character and personality, life is just better with a Bollo. Designed with Andreas Engesvik.
Bollo was initiated as a typical Scandinavian lounge chair with slim features and modest use of materials. The final result is a chair driven by comfort, both visually and in use. Bollo has a strong character inspired by its heightened level of comfort, with generously shaped cushions and a bold appearance. The soft volumes reach out to embrace the slim metal base, creating an interesting intersection between the base and its cushions.
