The exhibition, to be held from 22 to 25 September 2016, will focus on the tradition and heritage behind modern Norwegian design.
Einarsen will also present a minimalist series of bowls and pots made from different clays
Fraser, who was previously deputy director of the London Design Festival, hopes the exhibition will challenge people's expectations about what Norwegian design looks like.
Bergen-based designers Pedersen and Leszinski will present a series of five lidded vessels made from oak and oxidised metal "I'm keen to inject a new energy and outlook that breaks from any preconceptions of what Norwegian design is, particularly in light of the Scandinavian stereotypes," said Fraser.
