Norwegian designers were paired with Norwegian brands to create seven ready-to-buy products<\/a> aimed at demonstrating the country’s Scandinavian design capabilities at this year’s Designers’ Saturday<\/a> in Oslo<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

While many design festivals<\/a> are becoming increasingly centred around collectible design<\/a> or one-off pieces, Designers’ Saturday<\/a> retains a more traditional focus on ready-for-sale production items.<\/p>\n

The biennale is Norway’s largest design event and this year’s edition concentrated on home-grown design \u2013 aiming to boost Norway’s profile in comparison to the more internationally recognised scenes in neighbouring Sweden<\/a> and Denmark<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the centre of that ambition was DS Collab 2025, which matched Norway-based designers with Norway-based manufacturers to produce a new product \u2013 the first time Designers’ Saturday has organised such an initiative.<\/p>\n
