Solveig Hisdal (born 4 October 1946) is a Norwegian graphic designer and fashion designer. She is best known for her knitwear designs for Oleana where she has been the designer since the company was established in 1992.[1]

Hisdal is a graduate of the Bergen National Academy of the Arts (KHiB).

She is also the photographer for Oleana and also does catalog layout.[2] She also did all the photography and layout for her book Poetry in Stitches, Clothes You Can Knit.[1]

In 1993 Oleana was awarded the Norwegian Design Council's "Award for Design Excellence" in textile and clothing design. The company received the award again in 1997, 1999, 2001 (twice) and 2002.[3][4] In 2000 Hisdal was awarded the Jacob Prize by Norsk Form, the Foundation for Design and Architecture in Norway, for her work in clothing design.[3][5] In the fall of 2001 the Nordic Heritage Museum in Seattle, Washington presented an exhibit on the work of Solveig Hisdal and Oleana.[1] The Goldstein Museum of Design in St. Paul, Minnesota exhibited Hisdal's work in the winter of 2004 in an exhibit titled Art and Artifact: Sweaters by Solveig Hisdal .[6]
