Norwegian Presence exhibition will explore "the making of modern Norway" at Milan design week
Norwegian designers will present a range of new products, sculptural craftwork and iconic designs during this year's Milan design week.
Norwegian Presence returns to Milan design week for a fourth consecutive year, with a show taking place in the Tortona district from 17 to 22 April 2018.
Hosted by a trio of independent and government-funded groups ? Klubben, Norwegian Crafts and Design and Architecture Norway ? the exhibition will explore "the making of modern Norway". As with previous years, it will present some of the country's best established and emerging design talents.
This year's presentation focuses on the importance of collaboration, or what Norwegians call "felleskap". It will also showcase the country's skills in both craft and technology ? and how the two can be fused together.
"Norway is a small country, where designers, makers and manufacturers need to stand united," said Grete Sivertsen, the show's project manager.
"This feeling of fellesskap or togetherness is an important driving force and motivation. This exhibition, like the Norwegian design industry as a whole, is all about sharing and lifting each other up to make something happen."
A range of furniture, textiles, lighting and sculpture pieces will all be on show, split up into three sections: design, craft/sculpture and manufacture.
Those exhibiting in the design section are Domaas Høgh, Lars Tornøe, Marianne Andersen, Victoria Günzler, Martin Sole...
