back at milan design week for a sixth year – and to zona tortona for a third – norwegian presence brings the best of norway’s creative talent to the world design stage, shining a spotlight on the designers and manufacturers blazing a trail in the realms of circular production and sustainable design thinking.

the 2020 edition of norwegian presence returns to the theme with an even sharper focus. the curatorial team, marit haugen from oslo-based architects haugen/zohar and benedicte sunde of doga (aka design and architecture norway), has selected 11 of the nation’s designers who are working with natural lower-carbon materials such as wood, aluminum, stone and paper, developing intriguing new applications for them.
