Coda 2 is a refreshed color update of the orig­i­nal Coda uphol­stery textile, designed by Norway Says. Known for its rich tactil­ity and bold texture, Coda has a distinc­tive three-dimen­sional char­ac­ter that responds dynam­i­cally to furniture forms.

From a distance, Coda 2 appears mono­chrome. But upon closer inspec­tion, it reveals a surpris­ing second color, thanks to its unique two-layer weave. Each layer is crafted in a differ­ent hue, giving the textile a rhyth­mic surface that shifts with folds and angles, much like the skin of a three-dimen­sional object,” as its designers describe.

Made from pure wool, Coda 2 balances struc­ture and soft­ness. Its bold texture and dual-tone construc­tion bring a graphic yet refined expres­sion to any interior.

The updated palette of 18 color­ways, composed by Torb­jørn Ander­ssen and Espen Voll, intro­duces softer, more versa­tile tones than the orig­i­nal. It includes vibrant high­lights like deep red and mustard yellow, as well as muted, natural shades such as slate grey and cream. Some pair high-contrast hues — like pale blue with red — while others are more subtle and tonal.

Orig­i­nally formed in 2002, Norway Says helped define a new gener­a­tion of inter­na­tion­ally minded Norwe­gian design­ers. The collec­tive, which included Ander­ssen, Engesvik, and Voll, gained acclaim for their forward-think­ing furni­ture and textile design before evolv­ing into new studios.

Coda 2 is ideal for both resi­den­tial and contract use, offer­ing an elegant blend of dura­bil­ity, texture, and color sophistication.

Norway

Norway Says was a pioneering multidisciplinary design group founded in Oslo in 2002 by designers Espen Voll, Andreas Engesvik, and Torbjörn Anderssen. The studio quickly became known for its innovative, international approach to design, producing a diverse range of work including furniture, textiles, electronics, lighting, and porcelain.

At the forefront of a new wave of young Norwegian designers, Norway Says embraced a collaborative and experimental spirit that set them apart. Their work fused traditional Scandinavian design sensibilities with contemporary innovation, earning them recognition on the global stage.

In 2009, the studio split into two independent design practices—Anderssen & Voll and Andreas Engesvik—both of which have continued to garner acclaim, working with prestigious international clients. Throughout their careers, they have received numerous accolades, including the Honors Award for Design Excellence from the Norwegian Design Council.

Today, their legacy lives on in the continued success of their individual ventures, with each designer contributing to a broader dialogue in modern design.
