Ny Form Norway Troll, Handmade Latex Figure, Vintage Collectible

Original Troll figure produced by the Ny Form manufactory in Norway. This piece represents the craft tradition started by Trygve Torgersen in 1964, characterized by the use of organic materials and an expressive design inspired by Scandinavian folklore.

Object History: Ny Form trolls are manufactured using a handcrafted process that utilizes natural latex extracted from rubber trees. Over time, this material develops a unique patina that simulates the texture of wood or aged skin. Each figure is hand-molded, giving individual features to each specimen.
