At twilight time they emerge from the hills and mountains. They are rather huge and sometimes dangerous, but they might wink knowingly. - Henning Englesen's workshop is situated at Toten, a rural district 120 km north of Oslo. The workshop was built in 1950 in a personal style. Engelsen and his family have managed to create a good and inspiring atmosphere among the employees who all come from the district.”
