VikingsKraft is a platform founded in 2004 with the goal of sharing our heritage and our modern-day lifestyle with the rest of the world. We are dedicated to making and selling the highest quality medieval era crafts reproductions on the market, ranging from simple pendants to unique high end products not found elsewhere. In addition to historical items, we also offer contemporary products that have been inspired by and interpreted from the ancient Vikings culture. We have supplied various TV and movie productions with items, crafted reproductions for museums and merchandise for bands.
BUILDING A BRIDGE TO THE PAST
A culture that doesn’t adapt, develop and find a contemporary footing is dead, or in a best case scenario just an echo from the past. Our heritage is very much alive to us – it’s not something that just exists in the past, or that requires dressing up in traditional clothes for reenactment gatherings. Our aim has always been to build a bridge between now and then, and bring relevant parts of the culture into today’s world. There is wisdom to be learned from, achievements to be inspired by and an entire cultural treasure to embrace. That is the way to become a modern Viking, a Viking at heart.
OUR MOTTO: “LET THE PAST INSPIRE THE PRESENT”
Most cultures around the world use art and historical concepts from their past as an inspiration when it comes to clothes, jewelry, furniture, architecture and so forth. As Vikings, it is a natural step for us to do the same. We see no reason to why we should be excluded from bringing the cultural wealth of our own past to life in a modern context. Our work with historical reproductions is thus combined with a modern concept of artistry, where we use the past as a source of inspiration for modern day designs. We take great pride in that our products are designed with a full understanding and appreciation of our heritage. We have the knowledge and respect required to use symbiology, runes, designs and concepts in a correct fashion.
17 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE – GENERATIONS OF TRADITION
Our goal is met through a combination of scholarly knowledge and expert crafting skills being added to a deep lifelong interest in Vikings culture. With 17 years of experience, we remain true to our roots, developing and producing high standard products for our discerning customers around the globe who prefer quality over cheaper, quickly produced items. All our products go through a careful approval process to ensure highest quality. We ship our products worldwide. Our customers are found in North America, Europe, Australia and Africa.
VikingsKraft does not approve the usage of cultural features or the symbolism of our forefathers in association with white supremacy, racial elitism or other forms of extremism. Those elements have nothing to do with our forefathers and have no bearing in neither historical sources nor archaeological finds. We welcome and respect all people regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age.
