The exhibition will feature over 51 different products from 46 designers and artisans from Norway.

·      Klubben will be reveal new prototypes at the exhibition

·      Handicrafts from ten leading craftsmen in Norway with focus on Norwegian materials and the relationship between art and design.

Set against the colours of paint manufacturer Jotun, the internationally acclaimed stylists Kråkvik & D’Orazio have played with each of the exhibited products in a landscape not unlike the country itself: Walls, like the mountains and valleys that separate this vast country’s population, divide the space and invite visitors to takea tour of Norway.
