One cold February day in 2023, Ola called Christina and asked if she wanted to inherit (or buy) Lysløypa.

Christina, Ola, and Kati had known each other since the early days of Liebling and Lysløypa, because at the same time Christina was running a co-working space for creative souls right across the street. She and her freelance colleagues drank their coffee at Liebling almost every day — they held meetings there — Liebling was the beating heart of their shared office.

Just imagine the relationships a café can create!

Since the handover, much has become new — but the brilliant concept remains the same.

Christina chose to give Lysløypa a new visual identity, and the books are now bilingual — both Norwegian and English (in the same edition). Christina has also formed a team of contributors, so many good minds, energy, and ideas are now part of the project!

Thank you to Ola and Kati for all the work they put in, and for the trust — it’s an honor to carry Lysløypa forward!
