Cathrine Østvold is one of the driving forces behind the jewelry workshop Embla Design in Risør, a company that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

‍

Embla Design produces unique silver and enamel jewelry, and their workshop at Solsiden in Risør is an attraction in itself. Here, visitors can experience both the shop and the workshop, where the jewelry is handmade on site.

‍

The workshop is known for its artistic touch, and Østvold has, with his experience as an illustrator and jewelry designer, developed several of the popular jewelry series, such as "Vrimle".

‍

Østvold has contributed to continuing Risør's strong cultural profile through his involvement in Embla Design. The workshop, which also functions as a local tourist attraction, is an important part of the town's vibrant center.

‍

This supports Risør By AS's vision of preserving an active and attractive urban environment. Østvold not only functions as a jewelry designer, but also as an unofficial "tourist guide" for visitors who come to the city center to experience the city's unique culture and history.

‍

Embla Design plays an important role in making Risør a dynamic cultural city, where creative industries, arts and crafts meet and create value for both local residents and tourists.
