From maker to museum: Norwegian Presence 2021
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/f...
Half day digital programme from cutting edge Norwegian designers and manufacturers on the future of craftsmanship.
About this Event
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.
For the second in the series, on 25 March 2021, the theme will explore craftsmanship, particularly how it’s produced, consumed and appreciated.
One of the defining characteristics of Nordic design culture is a deep appreciation of craftsmanship and a concomitant respect for honest materiality. This sensibility doesn’t stop at the factory door; craft is ingrained in the approaches of Norwegian manufacturers operating at even the largest scales. Looking through the lens of a growing appreciation of bespoke design and small-batch production, this event will explore the path from designers and craftspeople to museums and collectors, and consider the role that manufacturers play in the journey between the two.
Participants include the following exhibitors from Norwegian Presence 2021:
