About us
In early 2016, Kine Ask Stenersen and Kristoffer Eng embarked on a transformative journey by founding Ask og Eng studio. Their story began with a simple desire to create sustainable solutions, starting with building their first kitchen in their apartment. Drawn to the beauty of bamboo—a material discovered by Kristoffer during an architectural project—Kine’s background in environmental sustainability combined seamlessly with her love for interior design. With no prior experience in construction, they embraced the challenge of making their own kitchen in bamboo and quickly fell in love with crafting beautiful pieces for their home.
This initial venture blossomed into more than just kitchens; as they awaited the arrival of their first child, they built another stunning bamboo kitchen, and the brand was formed! Starting with a workshop in the garage, which soon expanded to take over their entire home.
Fast forward ten years, and Ask og Eng has evolved significantly from those early days. Today, they offer not only bespoke kitchens but also bathrooms, storage solutions, and handcrafted furniture & have several immersive showspaces throughout Europe, and a thriving workshop in Norway. While also undertaking many bespoke interior architecture projects around the globe, which have been featured in design books and magazines.


Their commitment to sustainability shines through every creation—emphasising traditional craftsmanship paired with transparent manufacturing practices free from toxic materials. At Ask og Eng studio, we believe that your home should be your personal sanctuary.
Every detail matters in designing spaces that reflect individuality while embracing eco-friendly principles. We are grateful to have you along on this inspiring journey as we continue exploring innovative designs that prioritise our planet’s health without compromising on design or comfort!
Sustainable bamboo
Why bamboo? Bamboo is a very beautiful material and it is of really high quality and durability, but also it is a sustainable choice. Bamboo, which is actually a type of grass, grows significantly faster than trees – up to a meter per day. This means that the bamboo is ready to be harvested after 4-6 years – in comparison to trees that use about 50 years. During growth, bamboo absorbs more Co2 than is released during production, something that makes it Co2 neutral over the complete lifecycle. And it grows this fast without using any pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers.
We use bamboo, which only works with certified plantations, in our furniture. Because of this we can be sure that the bamboo is not only sustainable, but also produced responsibly.


At Ask og Eng, we prioritize sustainability while also acknowledging the various impacts architecture and design can have on our
well-being. Our commitment therefore extends to prioritizing materials with very low formaldehyde emissions, such as our bamboo, certified with the E1 class witch is the lowest official class possible.
Through our careful selection of materials and adherence to rigorous standards, we aim to deliver solutions that contribute to a healthier and more sustainable environment.
