Skeie & Co. is a Norwegian furniture manufacturer represented in the collections of Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo. The company’s best-documented product is the Buen chair, designed in 1958 by Fredrik A. Kayser. The museum holds two Buen examples made by Skeie & Co. (nos NMK.2010.0074 and OK-1994-0188).
Kayser (1924–1968) was working as an independent designer at the time; in parallel, he collaborated, among others, with Viken Møbelfabrikk and Vatne Lenestolfabrikk. Buen is one of several models that Kayser prepared during this period for various Norwegian manufacturers. The year of establishment and location of Skeie & Co. are not confirmed in the available sources.
