Einar Stoltenberg

About

Einar has a background as an artisan and designer with a degree from KHIO. His design professional weight lies in design thinking, communication, product semantics, cultural understanding as well as production and material knowledge. He also has a strong focus on pedagogy, which is also reflected in his publications.

For several years he ran his own business and has done a number of assignments for, among others Østfold Fredrikstad Hospital, the Armed Forces, Hospice Lovisenberg, Levanger high school, Notodden hospital, Konows center, Diakonhjemmets Høgskole and a number of churches. He has participated in several exhibitions for example at Kunstnerforbundet, Nordenfjeldske kunstindustrimuseum, Expo Arte jewelery gallery, The Museum of Decorative Arts and Design and the goldsmiths’ associations traveling exhibition. Einar is concerned with the aesthetic and physical properties of materials in his work and works a lot with symbolism and product semantics. The projects are covering areas like commission work to jewelry, retail and interiors.

Educational quality, organization building, strategy and personnel policy have always been important to Einar, who has held several positions and sat on several committees. These include the Faculty Council at TKD, the Study Committee at both HIAK and HIOA, experts for NOKUT, safety representatives, AMU, UHR-Art, design and architecture, the board of the Blakerstiftelsen and the Nasjonalt fagorgan for design.

It is also important to mention that Einar has been a driving force for internationalization at the department. He has an extensive international network that is used in teaching and research. In addition to complete many stays as visiting lecturer at foreign institutions, he has been a key person in implementing international semesters.
