Each jar is part of a numbered batch tied to a specific aquarelle. The painting becomes the label. Once a batch is gone, it's gone. Flip a card to see what's inside.

Batch 01 · The source
The harvest tree.
This is the gooseberry that started it. A sprawling, ungovernable bush — picked in late July, when the fruit sits right at the edge of tart and the light in Oslo goes golden and won't stop.

Every jar in Brutalist No. 04 came from this one tree, this one summer. When the batch is gone, so is the moment.

It will not be the same next year.

The art series

An ongoing series of aquarelles. Each painting measures 10 × 13 cm — a deliberate contrast to the scale of the subject: a large residential complex in Vienna. Each one becomes a label; each label becomes a jar.


About

No Restraining is a one-person project based in Oslo. The preserves are made in small batches — never more than a dozen jars — using seasonal fruit, real ingredients, and whatever combination of flavors seems right at the time. The paintings come first; the jars follow.

The label is the art

Each batch is tied to one original aquarelle. You get the jar; the painting stays on file. Future collectors' editions may include the original.

Scarcity as feature

No reprint. No second batch. When the inventory bar hits zero, that painting-flavour combination is retired permanently.

Ingredients

Seasonal fruit (Norwegian when possible), cane sugar, citric acid, and occasionally spice. No pectin powder. No filler. No polite flavors.

Jar format

405 mL glass jars (~400g net content). Label printed on matte stock to match the quality of the original artwork.

Why

Produce and consume locally. Share unique taste experience. Support creativity. Do not aim for profit but spirit. Feed any profit back into activities or organizations fostering societal wellbeing.
