Polar Days, Perfect Nights
Svalbard is a place of mystifying extremes. Lunar-like tundra unfolds beside reflective fjords, buffeted by biting arctic winds. Snowy peaks, slate grey and coiled in cloud, reach up into crystal clear skies. In the summer the sun never sets, whereas winters are a perpetual midnight, with the periods between marked by endless hours of mystic twilight.
On good days in July the temperatures might reach single digits; in January, they may plummet beyond -20 degrees Celsius. It is a land that feels untethered from time, where the height of the natural beauty is matched only by the depth of the potential peril.
Survival here is a game of change; those that have adapted have thrived. Svalbard is home to polar bears, reindeer, arctic foxes, puffins and more, each able to teach us a unique way to overcome the cold. But it is the lesson of the humble eider duck which has made arguably the biggest impact. The magical properties of their down were first utilised by Norse explorers over eleven centuries ago, and today are harnessed by Norvegr to create the missing piece of your cosy sleep puzzle.
A thousand miles south in Trondheim, Norway, the experts at Norvegr’s factory use the eiderdown, carefully hand harvested from abandoned nests, in duvets designed as the ultimate somnial indulgence. The fluffy, flexible filaments capture heat while remaining light as a cloud, making it the inimitable best choice for duvet fillings in terms of temperature and moisture regulation. Combined with Norvegr’s iconic channel construction to keep heat modulated from top to toe, the result is a perfectly temperate and undisturbed night’s sleep. Each item is created to order, with a customised size and weight.
Designed for the coldest climates and the chilliest sleepers, our polar duvets are a love letter to the beauty of the arctic landscape. Visually striking, deeply filled channels are an homage to the frosted and undulating skyline of Svalbard. The weightiness of the product echoes that sense of reassuring cosiness that can only be experienced while faced with such extreme chill. A dream, framed by tufted snow and glacial skies.
Much like the magical endless twilights of the far north, our polar duvets are the perfect companion to those ‘between times’; the dusky evenings bundled by the fire, the hazy weekend mornings, and the duvet days that you hope will never end. An ideal gift for those who matter most; even if that happens to be you yourself, and the ultimate way to introduce an element of enduring Norse luxury that promises to take your sleep to uncharted new heights.
