William Glass Beads

Our William beads are made in Ghana using a process that’s as thoughtful as it is beautiful. Discarded glass bottles are crushed into powder, poured into clay molds, and fired in hand-built kilns. The result? Recycled glass beads with serious character—no two exactly alike.
The technique isn’t new — the Krobo and Ashanti tribes have been doing this for generations — but the payoff is modern: a self-sustaining craft that keeps glass out of landfills.
Use these decorative beads however you want: string them into jewelry, scatter them across a table, or drop them in a vase if that’s your thing.

Our founder's story
More Than Just Beautiful Things
At Hello Norden, we’re not here to sell trends. We’re here to help you create spaces that feel like you. Spaces that calm your body, support your nervous system, and tell a story you recognize as your own.
Every piece we offer—vintage, made-to-order, or newly crafted—is chosen for how it feels, not just how it looks.
Founder Kassina Folstad spent 22 years designing spaces and studying how environments impact the body. That led to the creation of the RUTED Method—a science-backed, story-rich approach to design that’s changing the way we think about home.
