Rybo is a Norwegian furniture manufacturer operating as O.P. Rykken & Co. in Øystese; Store norske leksikon also uses the name Rybo Møbler. The company is known primarily for producing designs by Elsa and Nordahl Solheim. In the mid-1960s, it produced their modular Flexi system based on a 55 × 55 cm module.
In 1967, Kengu was created – a lounger made from laminated wood, manufactured by Rybo Møbler; in 1973, its spring version Pirate entered serial production. Rybow (1978) is also associated with the company – a Solheim design sold flat-packed. The year of foundation and history of the company itself are not confirmed in the available sources.
