Norwegian Presence returns in a radically updated format, tailored to our new reality. Having spent several months exploring potential new paradigms for Norway’s flagship international design show, organisers Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA) are unveiling their new vision for Norwegian Presence in 2021.
Beginning on 18 February, a series of three half-day online events will bring together the best Norwegian designers and manufacturers with leading international design thinkers to explore the ideas, values and aesthetic trends shaping design culture in Norway and beyond. Although each of the events will centre on a distinct theme, the overarching focus will be on the drive towards a circular-design economy, and the environmental and social sustainability inherent in Nordic design infrastructure.
