He attended the Norwegian State College of Applied Arts and Crafts where he graduated with a degree in ceramic arts in 1949. Early in his career, he designed for Porsgrund for whom he produced the successful Det riflede ceramic range in 1949.
His cutlery designs include Una, Norstaal, Tiki and Maya for Stelton (previously Norsk Stålpress), Opus for Lundtofte and Cypress for Georg Jensen.
His work is in the permanent collections of institutions such as the V&A in London and Denver Art Museum.
