What Riis Interiør does
Riis Interiør is an Oslo-based interior design firm founded in 1995 by Else Marie Risøe Evensen. It operates a dual B2C/B2B model: a physical showroom and online store sell finished interior products (curtains, cushions, lighting, furniture, fabrics, wallpaper, wall art) to homeowners and holiday-cabin owners, while an in-house sewing workshop produces custom curtains, cushions, bedspreads, headboards, and pinboards. The company also runs an interior consulting service with tiered project packages (15,000-50,000+ NOK), a products-and-styling advisory, and full-service interior projects under the Riis Prosjekt sub-brand.
A second, B2B-oriented business line functions as exclusive Norwegian agent for ~25 international luxury textile and interior brands including Designers Guild, Ralph Lauren Home, Pierre Frey, Christian Lacroix, C&C Milano, Holland & Sherry, and Samuel & Sons, distributing to dealers, interior architects, and the contract market. The agency portfolio is supported by a dedicated B2B sales team and a material library built in 2022. Riis Interiør additionally operates the Riis Collection sub-brand, producing upcycled products from production remnants.
The business is privately held by the founding family, headquartered at Heggelibakken 2 in Oslo, and operated by approximately 10-15 employees including management, interior consultants, showroom staff, seamstresses, and a B2B sales agent. Revenue streams are: (1) time- and project-based interior consulting fees, (2) itemized sewing and installation services, (3) retail product sales through the showroom and e-commerce platform, and (4) wholesale/agency distribution of premium imported brands to Norwegian dealers and contract clients.
