1994 Lillehammer wool sweater unisex

The 1994 Olympic sweater has cemented its place in history as a design icon. For years, enthusiasts scoured vintage stores or picked up their knitting needles to secure a piece. Now, it’s back in our collection, reimagined to appeal to both loyal fans and new generations.  

The updated 1994 sweater retains the distinctive symbols inspired by Norse mythology but is crafted in a thinner, softer yarn, with an improved fit and refreshed color palette. Knitted at our factory in Dale, Norway, it is made of 100% wool – just like the original.

This unisex garment is made with measurements corresponding our men’s sizes. For women’s sizes we recommend selecting one size smaller than your usual size.

A modern update to one of our biggest successes ever, our official Olympic sweater from the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. While the shape has been modernized to a regular fit, the pattern remains more or less unchanged from the original: consisting of symbols and figures from Norse mythology. A nearly 30-year-old classic has been updated and given a modern look.

The sweater’s symbols and figures from Norse mythology are: Frøya, the goddess of love and fertility, with the ability to foresee the future. Odin, the most powerful and wisest of the gods. He is riding Sleipner, the fastest horse in the world. Two ravens, Hugin and Munin, symbolizing thought and recollection, one pointing forward, the other backwards. And Yggdrasil, the evergreen world tree, keeping the whole world up, with branches reaching up to the sky and roots stretching down into the underworld.
