Norway is blessed with both abundant natural resources and challenging wilderness landscapes. These have played an instrumental role in the evolution of the country’s culture of making, giving its designers and manufacturers a deep appreciation for materials, as well as a talent for problem-solving and innovation as they rise to meet the challenges of the landscape. For the return of Milan Design Week in June 2022, Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA) presents Matter by Norwegian Presence – a celebration of Norwegian materiality and ingenuity featuring some of the most exciting designers and progressive manufacturers working in the country today. Held in the spectacular setting of Brera’s Galleria Milano, Matter by Norwegian Presence brings together products from 10 leading design talents and projects from the country’s most respected manufacturers. Under the leadership of exhibition director Cecilie Molvær Jørgensen, Matter by Norwegian Presence showcases and celebrates the material honesty, sustainable practices, solution-orientated thinking, and nature-inspired aesthetic that define Norwegian design today.
